| contd :- -2- (6) Locking of components. There are a number of cases of studs etc. which cannot be locked up owing to the split pin holes being drilled in the wrong place. It will be evident from the above list that some of our troubles are entirely due to the fact that these magnetos had to be rushed out from the Works in a hurry. There are at least three points in design however which require serious attention if the magnetos are to be satisfactory in service. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/W.A. Robotham. | ||
