| 12624 637 To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} c. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}6/MH.{M. Huckerby}25.11.38. WRAITH PROPELLOR SHAFT. We have now run the larger 1350 type joint on 25.G.VI and 24.G.VI. No ill effects can be noticed. We suggest this is put on the L.O.P. for immediate use. Will RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} say at what chassis this can be done. By splitting the sliding joint, the front part can be entered through the side of the cross. The rear part is then refitted as marked by arrows on the two pieces. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
