| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} BY.4/G.18.11.37. RE: CHASSIS B.58-KT. (MILEAGE 3709). Memo RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}20/N.8.11.37. We are of the opinion that the condition of the teeth on the pinion is due to shortage of oil. The leakage at the nose piece is due to faulty workmanship. The pinion will have to be replaced at our cost. This matter is being taken up with the Works. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
