Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM. {Anthony F. Martindale} 1/MH. {M. Huckerby} 16.6.38.

B.III SERVO TEST RIG.

In order that we can test the servo on the new gear box now being assembled in the shop, we want the bucket shown on Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 543 making out of sheet steel, as quickly as possible.

The bucket is pumped full of water, applies the brakes and then empties itself.
