| To EY. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Sft.{Mr Swift} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RECEIVED 1932 AUG 26 X107. E.3/HP.25.8.32. re Peregrine Camshaft. Would you please arrange to produce the Peregrine camshaft without the central hole. We do not think the expense of making this shaft hollow is worth while, particularly as we are using solid shafts on 20/25 and P.II. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
