RECEIVED Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DEC 21 1922 X.4228 - "GOSHAWK II" - CARBURETTER - FLOAT LEVEL WINDOW. Owing to the trouble being experienced in the Works with cracked and chipping glass in the float level window, when using the fibre washers, Mr Bailey would like you to try out and report on the use of lead or leather washers in place of the fibre one F.8201. Perhaps the best construction would be a lead washer on the inside and a leather one on the outside. Shn BY/Shn. | ||
