| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} R.F.C. X 4072 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/LG28.7.20. X 4072 With reference to your memo BY9/H26.7.20., under the question of replacing steel castings by forgings, we think that the scheme N.366, which is the new fixing for the swan-neck pipe, is quite satisfactory, although no standardisation sheet has yet been signed for this we recommend that you get in hand dies for the necessary parts. We think this will only entail a new saddle pieces on the silencer as the forgings are existing pieces. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RECEIVED JUL 30 | ||
