| X8430 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/LG16.3.28. We shall want to run two sets of the friction in the pivots scheme (N.sch.2296 Sch.2.) one on 12-EX and one on 10-EX. We have asked BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} to instruct the 12-EX scheme complete, on 10-EX we want a 9 1/4" pendulum lever and the corresponding s.s. tube. Possibly you will be able to modify the existing pivots on 10-EX. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
