Swindell} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}10/MH.{M. Huckerby}17.3.39. B.V. PRODUCTION ENGINES. Because of the foul between the main oil pipe and the nearside cross steering tube a modified oil pipe has had to be schemed and is shown on ECD.1264. It is essential that we test one of these as soon as possible to make sure it is alright, and that we also get the scheme fitted on whatever engine will run the French test in 14.B.V.
