X.4190. RE GUDGEON PIN KNOCKS.
(HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 3/LG3.2.21).

I agree, although I am not quite satisfied that this is quite thorough enough.

We are sending you a modification in dimension of the scheme suggested, which should make it more substantial, though even then hardly satisfying.

I have not heard the final result of the schemes of bushes, oil, pins fixed in rod, etc.
