x3806. BY/AHD BY/PEP c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY9/G.12.6.30. AXLE LUBRICATION FROM BIJUR SYSTEM. --------------------------------------- The Experimental Department have decided to standardise the scheme which was run on 23-EX. i.e. the original design with the smaller coils of Bijur tubing carried in the shackle pins. This design has successfully completed the full 10,000 miles, and is the only one that we are justified in proceeding with. The later designs based on N. Schs. 3107 and 3108 are to be issued experimentally only. They will not be applied to the L.H. chassis for production. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
