We have just had 3.CP.52 at W. and find that N. have recently modified the housing to SCD.496, instead of the later practice to G.85735 which feeds the oil in to the bearing from the bottom instead of the top. We suggest that this indicates the desirability of depot instruction on the matter. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler} | ||
