| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to By/RD. c. to Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} 6092 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}9/JH.22.8.39. We are informed by Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} that it is impossible to obtain C.A.V. B2CS11 type regulators to D.55030 for the last 40 Wraith cars, as Messrs. Lucas have stopped producing this type. We have, however, 400 B2CJ11 type to D.76239 in stock, which on examination prove to be the 3 turn type with a higher setting. As the output of this type is only slightly lower than the standard 2 1/2 turn type we see no reason why 40 suitable regulators which will comply to the specified limits, should not be picked out by the production test. We have already examined one of these and found it to be to specification limits. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs} | ||
