Harcombe}24.7.39 re: COMPLAINT REPORT N° P.259 ------------------------ Chassis B.6.MR 1240 With reference to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GRY.{Shadwell Grylls}2/MH.{M. Huckerby}10.7.39, the wear in question had taken place on one side of the G.54840 adjusting washer (on the side nearest to the inner end of the coupling flange) there was also a certain amount of wear on the inner end of the coupling flange. Prior to taking out the end play it was possible to insert a .020" feeler gauge between the G.54680 clamping washer and the outer face of the coupling flange. We left .002" end float. We are keeping a close eye on the car and will let you know should there develop an increase in the existing .002" end float. Sr/VA. | ||
