Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 26.G.VI.- WRAITH. Cross Steering Tube Joints. In the course of our routine inspection, we checked the poundage on these joints and found the load required on the opposite end of the tubes was between 10 ozs. and 1 lb. We should be glad to know if this is correct. There have been no signs of wheel wobble. ---------- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} | ||
