C. Bowring}15/KW.14.9.34. Chassis Lubrication Meter Valves. At present the method for checking the chassis lubrication system is by ascertaining that oil passes through the various valves and oozes from the shafts, bearings etc. to be lubricated. Although this method is doubly checked, there is the possibility of any one point being overlooked, especially where the gearbox and brake mechanism are concerned. To take every precaution against failure it is necessary to check every meter valve on a rig (as previously used) before fitting to a chassis. Will you therefore please arrange for this to be carried out. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/J.Bowering. | ||
