Further to our discussion of this morning, Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/HDY{William Hardy} has suggested that instead of using a beard on the spring mounted pad the cross bolt could be made sufficiently eccentric in position to prevent this pad being put in more than one way round. Would you please act on this suggestion as it seems quite practicable. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
