contd :- -3- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/DMW/LG20.10.25! ******************* with thick grease when being erected (as is the present custom), the joints should have 5 of these charges inserted through lubricator before test, leaks at flanges, or lubricator cured (if any), after which one charge of the intensifier every 500 miles is sufficient. This has been proved on Experimental cars here and also on 9-G-111 in France. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/DMW. | ||
