| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 800a Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}11/ML.23.4.41. TRANSMISSION FAILURE. 4.B.50. You were perfectly correct in saying that the failure on this car was axle trouble. The axle however, was already condemned and was only running because we have no alternative bits. I was definitely told that the failure was the gearbox when the car was delivered to the Clan. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
