Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}3/R.14.1.37. 3.B.IV. We wish to run this car in France with a very much higher level in the rear axle; the level should be that oil would just flow out of the rear inspection cover. An oil seal on the pinion shaft will prevent it running out at the front end. The oil should be Wakefield's R.R. E.P. new oil. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
