| W/K.{Mr Kilner} Pk. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1113 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}11/R.18.6.37. It has been pointed out to us that you did not use R.R. spanners at Kingsbury. Occasionally troubles such as throttle sticking occur through over-tightening. We recommend that you use R.R. spanners.
