| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM RS.{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary} 43066 RS{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary}1/M20.1.26. STANDARDISATION SHEETS. We attach herewith standardisation sheets returned by R.{Sir Henry Royce} ✓ (1) BRACKET FOR REAR SILENCER. Agreed by R.{Sir Henry Royce} (2) FIXING OF SPRING IN AIR VALVE. Agreed by R.{Sir Henry Royce} (3) STARTER CARBURETTER ADJUSTMENT. I cannot see that this is correct, because if taken apart and put together somewhat differently it would be misleading; moreover I cannot see how it should be done without re-designing. Would a standard fixed, unadjustable fitting be better. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} send suggestions. Ought we not to use new standard union for petrol pipe. (4) MODIFIED DIST. HEAD AND BASE TO LeC. 2121. Agreed by R.{Sir Henry Royce} & E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 1804 MADE AT CROXLEY RS.{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary} | ||
