| To BJ. from Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} C. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X 3898 Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/WW12/W18.12.23. Re Grease Caps. Your BJ/Py3/D14.12.23. As far as repair cars are concerned, we have in the past had considerable trouble with the caps falling off the Enots Lubricators, but we are now being supplied with caps the design of which has been altered, and our troubles in this respect have practically ceased. We do get a complaint now and again from an owner, but we are of the opinion that if the new type caps are put on correctly there is very little danger of them falling off. Hm{Capt. W.
