re Hydraulic Jack Trunnion Fixing.

We have received from Messrs. Smiths Jacking Systems Ltd. the attached print, scheme 82, showing a suitable trunnion connection for the jack to the jack bracket.

We suggest that you set this out on the drawing for the Myth and so arrive at a suitable design of bumper and jack bracket in conjunction with Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.
