N. 17. P. -. 22. | The new design of positive control for opening and closing the Cutout has been standardised, which we hope will reduce the trouble. Noisy Engine Gears. | W. 5. N. 1. P. 1. 7. | No definitely permanent cure. Noisy Magnetos. | W. 5. N. 25. P. 6. 36. | The latest Magnetos are a definite improvement. Damaged Pipe to Hot-spot, due to distortion. | W. 3. N. 8. P. 1. 12. | This is not a very satisfactory sliding joint. If too much slack is given exhaust blows are heard. Fabric Coupling failures. | W. 3. N. 3. P. 3. 9. | The Nuts work loose on the old type. We now have an improved design. Some have been changed because they run out of truth, and this affects the coupling. Hm. {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} | ||
