Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/STD. c Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} c D/BP. 361 Br/G2/M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} 14.12.38. re, Chassis No. 3-AZ-144. -------------------------- This Car has been in our hands for an R.15 Decarbonisation. Whilst cleaning out the Oil Cooler, we noticed the Brass of one of the Unions to be cracking up, which would have probably set up leaks ultimately. As the Cooler is the "F" type, we consider it advisable to send it back to the Works, for your attention. The Number is F.31., and we shall be glad if you will deal with it as necessary. Will BP please hand it over, upon receipt. We do not require it back of course. Br/G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Ecc | ||
