Bush-Rockers R / No 3/M9 26.6.39 Further to memo. By/NS{Norman Scott}6/MG.12.7.39 We have been informed by RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/RP that the sample bushes, with the bore .615" minimum .617" maximum, are satisfactory. A dozen bushes have been pressed into rockers and the final inside dia. is such that they can broach to final size without difficulty. Will By/CS alter our detail drawing to agree with the figures quoted above. A copy of Messrs. Vandervell's drawing is attached for reference. Further supplies should be produced with the bore to the latest figures. The stock in the Works should be modified. BY/NS{Norman Scott} Att. Drawing to CS. (B.2204) | ||
