S/W To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} P.III Connecting Rod Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E3.2.38 Copy to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}BY. Bearings in A.C.6 Material. [Handwritten: .1020] [Handwritten: -1020?] Referring to RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}5/MJ.2.2.38 I cannot remember all the points discussed at the last Chassis conference and a reference to the Minutes does not tell me what tests the A.C.6. material has done etc. [Handwritten signature: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}] I looked for the Standardisation Sheet for this information but I cannot trace one. If we are going to standardise some-thing, surely there ought to be the usual Standardisation Sheet? Would you please let me know what the position is in regard to it and, to save waiting for the actual Sheet, let me know what testing these bearings have done. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
