| Y7340 X1457 To DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 5/LG17.10.28. With reference to DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 7/M10.10.28. We will try the stainless steel plug. We are however not very enamoured with the lubrication system for the joint of this clutch; as on the old type of universal joint, we have seen a number of cases in the Repair Dept. where obvious lack of lubrication is indicated.
