| Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/McrLO/L9817 Re Cross Steering Lever. X.701 Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} 9-7-14. With reference to Mr Royce's memo R5/P 6.7.14 you will note that you are required to test on the bumping rig a cross steering lever fitted with slack to see how this slack affects the life of the lever. Also to find the comparative life on the bumping test of a standard lever before and after it was reinforced by altering the dies. We understand that you have all the material necessary for this test. Please inform us if this is not correct. p. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} | ||
