To D.W. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to C.I. " " MH{M. Huckerby} " " DY{F R Danby} " " HFG. ORIGINAL. R1/C4/9/20. 3 X.4054. RE FLEXIBLE CONNECTION FROM CONDENSER HOUSING TO FRAME - N. SCHEME 555. With reference to N. Scheme 555, I quite approve of this except that I think the wire should go to the supporting foot instead of requiring a special bolt through the frame, and so avoid damaging the paint. It would require a sheet-metal plate under the nut and a small bolt through this plate, and the connector wire should hang thus, one thinks - I thought this had been made standard fitting long ago. R.{Sir Henry Royce} D 6 SEP 1920 RECEIVED My impression was that the frame bolt might be considered more suitable unless this nut is quite safe from movement. | ||
