| To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les. X7410. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les.9/MJ.11.11.31. LUBRICATION OF ROAD SPRINGS. Owing to the lack of lubrication to the rear end of the off side front road spring on 25-EX., we should like the shackle bolt E.81923 modified with a cross groove to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 465. A similar groove should be made in the rear shackle bolt F.82063. The modified shackle bolts should be fitted to 25-EX. and the bumper chassis. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /I.A.Leslie. Att: Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 465. | ||
