Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry {Shadwell Grylls} 5/R.27.4.37.

We have seen from the Quarterly Complaints that there have been 7 cases of noisy 25/30 axles.

We asked Hd {Mr Hayward / Mr Huddy} /SB {Mr Bull/Mr Bannister} for more information about these, and in almost every case a new axle was fitted to overcome the trouble. The chassis numbers in question are:-

GXM-56; GAN-42; GRM-52; GXM-18; GRM-75;

GUL-14; GAB-3.

We should be glad if you would let us know what was found wrong with the axles, or what was done to remove the trouble.
