| x 4633 To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}18/KW.31.12.34. Lead Bronze Bearings. It was agreed at the last Conference with Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} that we should supply 6 sets of lead bronze bearings. The only other modification required is the larger oil pump and a pressure gauge to withstand 100 lbs/sq.in. The existing large oil pump is noisy and we therefore want to use the helical oil pump for which a design has been issued, but only in the small size. Will you please confirm what you would like this large helical oil pump to be so that we may manufacture the necessary parts. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
