Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} PN. {Mr Northey} 5/WT24.533. 18-G.4 It appears that at a mileage of 2,328 all hydraulic shock-absorber glands were leaking sufficiently to require renewal, or the fitting of a modified set. We presume that these glands which gave the trouble were not of the standard "Phantom II" design which have been so satisfactory. PN. {Mr Northey} | ||
