Sidgreaves - MD} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KT.4.2.33. X7150 SHOCK DAMPERS. Regarding R2/M1.2.33. We naturally wish to get the square location of the centre lever going as soon as possible.experimentally. We have explained to Hdy.{William Hardy} the position that we have had to order material for production with the existing lever fixing, and it will take us some little time to get the square shaft made and tested.. In the meantime we have no alternative but to proceed with the parts which are running 10,000 miles. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
