Ph.III & 25 HP. Marles Type Steering.

The oil leak from the steering gear of 33-EX has proved to be due primarily to bad fitting. However, we agree that the design was rather difficult to produce satisfactorily, and we suggest the modification shown on Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 9 attached.

Will you please detail this and fit to all steering gears as soon as possible.
