re. 40/50 HP. Servo Gears.

With reference to the above, I understand that Hm. {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} has obtained much more satisfactory results as regards the working of the Servo by the faces of the drum and the halo being grounds and obtained a true surface.

Is this proposed to be the standard practice.
