Fabric Liners on Servo Balance Arm.

20-G-IV has now completed 8580 miles with cotton duck liners fitted to the servo swinging arm (N.Sch.4314).

It was necessary during the first 2,000 miles to re-set the friction loading on two occasions, but since then it has maintained its original loading of 18 lbs.

Examination of the fabrics shows them to be in good condition.
