Gearbox-Engine Stay. Replying to your memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}2/R.2.8.37, the rear eye was tight at the start of the mileage and when we found it loose, the lock nut at the other end was tight. Rather than offer a theory as to why it came loose, we would say that in practice it has come loose, and therefore lock it. --------- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M.
