| 400b. To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux}4/MH.{M. Huckerby}17.12.38. RE OIL LEVEL IN ENGINE. Replying to your memo By.4/G.16.12.38, the fluctuation of oil pressure with less than one gallon in the sump is common to Wraith and Bentley. It occurs with braking and cornering of a degree which is easily reached by either chassis. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} | ||
