Noise from Gear Box, known as "Bricks or Nuts in the Gear Box" I am afraid that we are still having quite a number of gear boxes on chassis on test on which this trouble is evident. I feel sure that sooner or later we shall have a serious complaint either from customers or from Sales Dept. regarding this. I am anxious to make sure that everything possible has been done to avoid this trouble from all possible points of view. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
