Mr. Hancock reports that on 23-EX, the nickel silver lagging on the vertical pipe continually slipped down in spite of the fact that they lifted it on three or four occasions and re-tightened the clips. In order to make certain whether this slipping of the nickel silver was due to :- (a) The asbestos packing not being so tight. (b) The nickel silver itself being too soft. we would like to fit the L.H. Phantom II which goes to France with nickel silver lagging sheets. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
