Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Bowering Please follow up Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} D.W.S. Rear Jacks. - Phantom III. On examining the shape of the aluminium jack bracket on the rear axle, G.83971, we wondered whether the section of the metal opposite the key-way will be adequate. We send herewith N Sch.4729 showing a strengthened bracket which calls for a slight modification of the pattern, increasing the strength at this point. We suggest that this modification be introduced as soon as convenient. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Att: N.Sch.4729. | ||
