| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 18-C4. Re the centralised lubrication scheme to the rear axle. We have had considerable trouble with the aluminium clip holding the pipe on the spring leaf. This clip does not retain its hold on the spring leaf and slips upwards. It appears to be too short to grip correctly. The drawing shews it to fit the top leaf snugly, but in practice it does not do so. This report is in advance of the final report. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
