| Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}14/T.6.3.41 - 4 - 20. 3.B.30. When the experiments on servo lining and underseat heater are finished, this will be given back to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 21. ALUMINIUM B-CYLINDER SPRING. The Drawing Office instruction on this has been held up, owing to tank work. 22. MYTH. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has taken a number of people from Myth to work on tank design, and this has slowed up the job. It is expected that instructions on this car will be completed in a month's time. 23. MORRIS BOX. It was agreed that Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Sym. would try and buy another Morris box from Kennings. If we can get a box, we should check its silence compared with the one we have, by building the car with it and keeping the box we have at present for examination and eventually fitting to Myth. 24. BENTON SUPER GEARBOX MODIFICATION. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Sym. stated that the progress in manufacture was good. In view of the failures we have had, it may be necessary for us to instruct some new pieces with strengthened second speed dogs. 25. TALBOT AXLE F-HOLDER ON 102 & 103A SCHEME. The cages have been ovalised on 4.B.30 and J.G.V.I, to overcome the trouble that has been experienced. 26. Box TYPE FRONT SHOCK ABSORBERS. New type front shock absorbers will be fitted to 12.B.V while it is in the shop. | ||
