Bailey - Chief Engineer} " " Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} " " EFC. E5/G21.6.20. X.4062. RE 40/50 H.P. ENGINE FOOT. With reference to your scheme N.364, would you kindly proceed to effect standardisation as no other point arises from Mr. Royce with the exception of whether the upper dowel pin holes for the steering pad stem should have normal drilling. Mr. Royce says that Mr. Willis should decide this point. The holes can be made at right angles to the taper surface of the stamping, and the drill-ing jig can be made to rock over to accomodate the angle of the hole. E, | ||
