| Contd. -6- There is no location for the cover at present so that it is a two-handed job to start the first screw. We recommend that the fixing of this cover should be made more easily detachable. Core plugs and machine plugs in cylinders and gear box. We suggest that we should standardise one type of plug as much as possible. At present on the unit we have cast iron plugs, bronze plugs, and steel plugs, all with different methods of screwing them up. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
