WOR{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}44/M25614. Re. Col. Harding. 2405. Kindly note in Mr Chichester's report No.1048, he advises us that the driver thought we might supply a gear oil syringe of slightly larger bore. He finds the nozzle on the syringe too small. Mr Nadin remarks regarding this:- "Perhaps if we alter the oil for lubricating our gear box, we may remove the cause of this complaint. In any case, I would like to have the Experimental's comments on this matter." Will you please let us hear from you regarding this.
