Sfter [crossed out] Drawing Office [crossed out] C. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [crossed out] C. Wks. [crossed out] Y9910 BY/C15/W.17.2.25. 40/50HP. CHASSIS. SERVO MOTOR. With reference to EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}3/HL.2.25, we agree that it would be advisable for the Servo drums of the above to be stove enamelled on the outside surfaces, so as to avoid painting, as it is found that the latter finds its way through to the friction surfaces, thereby affecting the operation of the Servo motor. Will Sft.{Mr Swift}, therefore, please arrange for Servo motor drums to be treated in this manner, at the earliest convenience. BY/C. | ||
