| -2- plungers set correctly. The n/s load giving only 8 lbs. Therefore the o/s was giving 16 lbs. load. Rear axle. There is a definite oil leak along the o/s shaft. We have to-day had the brake drums off to examine the bedding of the shoes, and a definite amount of oil was in the o/s hub. The n/s was practically dry. Re the propeller shaft. The propeller shaft is just fouling the cross member, a very faint mark having been made on the shaft. We should advocate more clearance to be given for the shaft. G.W.H. [Signature] | ||
