| 110. Mr.Chandler. RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/EG.13/DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions} 1.9.37. I am sending you a Spring Plate taken from a Borg & Beck Clutch, which did not conform to the limits laid down for quality of parallelism of the Ferodo Friction Discs. I have had this disembled and find there is a very bad burr at the root of the rivet lug, which should have been removed. Will you take this up strongly with Messrs. Borg & Beck and after correction return the Clutch Plate to me. Goodall RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/EG. | ||
