| X5310 BY/IWD. c.Mr.Hancock. BY4/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 25.5.27. 20 HP. CHASSIS. GEAR BOX. COVER FOR GEAR BOX TOWER. I understand at present this is fixed with three bolts or studs. We ought to introduce two more to over-come the tendency for oil to leak out at this point as the result of the oil frothing up in the box. I had an idea that this had been done before. It has certainly been discussed. I want to introduce it without delay. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
