| 26th August, 1921. COMPLAINTS. W.W. REMARKS. Lubricators all over chassis should be modified to take "Enots" 1/8" gas lubricator. This will be done. 2 BA. Bolts in front cross member not strong enough. These are likely to be strengthened. We are looking into it. All over the chassis there are instructed expensive nuts in places where they appear to have no advantage. Bolts holding universal joints, bolts holding rear axle casing together. We understood these nuts were only to be used where essential. Quite right. One agrees. There is always a danger in the over lavish use of these parts. We will do what we can to get some altered. 'get some' altered? why not all? Oil plugs for universal joints should be modified from screw head to hexagon. We are not certain that Mr Royce will agree to this head but will take it up with him. Oil drain plugs in axle and gear box should have hexagon head also filler plugs. We are not certain that Mr Royce will agree to this head but will take it up with him. Depth of oil well in cylinder head to be increased. Being carried out. Delete small drain tap under water pump. Being altered. Rocker arms - when are you sending final design - it was arranged they should be modified so as to have larger diameter drilled hole. Now in hand. B K 532V (No 1. 2M. S&C 19-7-21) C 3092 | ||
