| To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X1775 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} 21/KW. 31.7.34. During recent test bed running we have sheared the small 5-B-A.{Mr Adams} bolt which holds the seal on to the oil filler cap. The washer then falls into the bottom half and might do damage. We recommend that this bolt is increased in diameter. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
