| To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to CJ. c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c;. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X4232 E5/G1.11.21. X.4232 - RE LUBRICATION OF OIL PUMP DRIVE - GOSHAWK 11. We send you herewith drawing LeC.1478 shewing the over-flow pipe from the pump discharging into the oil pump drive gear case. The aluminium flange on the inner side of the ball journal has been altered so that the hole in it is now only large enough to pass the driving gear wheel. Also, drain holes have been provided to run excess oil back into the wheelcase. z E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
