With reference to your memo' Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}25/KW.28.5.35.. below I give you a list of Chassis fitted with fans which may require attention owing to their unbalanced state. B-21-DK B-91-DK B-9-DK B-191DK B-25-DK B-23-DK B-47-DK B-51-DK B-69-DK B-49-DK B-41-DK B-39-DK B-53-DK B-59-DK B-43-DK B-185DK B-75-DK B-45-DK B-63-DK B-55-DK B-81-DK B-79-DK B-73-DK B-83-DK B-85-DK B-65-DK B-115DK B-87-DK B-99-DK B-77-DK B-103DK B-67-DK B-125DK B-89-DK B-105DK B-163DK After the discovery of this trouble we were able to rectify 25 fans off their respective chassis in the Works before despatch. The remaining 36 fans which were fitted to the Chassis of which we give the numbers is a fairly generous estimate, given in order that every suspected fan may be covered. Sft.{Mr Swift} | ||
