Martindale} 14/AP.31.5.37 WRAITH CHASSIS BRAKE ROPE GUIDES GW.1182 With reference to your memo By.I/O.19.5.37, the guides you supplied in 'Gaco' for test are an obsolete part; the front brake rope is being changed to two rods owing to an oil pump modification. Under the circumstances, it is doubtful if the guides will have a long test. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM. {Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
