Referring to your memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}11/N.20.10.38, I have examined the pinion removed from the above chassis and believe the cause of the damage to the tooth is due to some loose metal part i.e. a split pin or bit of wire, having been trapped in the gears. The wheel is only slightly marked on two teeth, but I think these marks can be stoned out and the wheel used again. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} [Stamp: OCT 26] | ||
