Sidgreaves - MD} Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 'SS {S. Smith} ' BRAKES+ Mr. Hancock says that the back brakes appear to be doing less than their usual proportion. Dodd says some of the brakes grunt. I am not sure if we have corrected the guards for keeping out the water. I understand there was some over-sight from those fitted to EAC.7. which had nearly the same axles. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
