This column is for Name of Person addressed. Mr. Mercer. DATE. 6/5/13. X433. Below is an extract of Mr. Hanbury's memo AH6/CD2513 re G.O. Herbert Esq. car No. 2087E:- "Mr. Herbert said he had a slight rattling noise from outside the front spring shackles and cured this successfully by inserting a washer of about 12/1000ths on the shackle bolt. He has now a similar noise, occasionally (which he could not produce for me) from the near side front spring, and he wishes to know whether there is any harm in inserting a washer to correct this also." Mr. Johnson wishes these remarks to be sent to Mr. Royce. Kindly attend to this. per A.{Mr Adams} Wormald. This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
