Engine dismantling, bearing checks, and chassis delivery progress following a bearing issue.

We have again dismantled the engines and after checking them over we find all the bearings are still 100%.

We are now going ahead preparing these engines for erection into chassis, and HHC is now pushing forward engines as fast as possible so that we can deliver to Sales Dept. chassis which we had already declared to them prior to this trouble cropping up.

In connection with this bearing trouble we consider it should be understood by everyone that we have now delivered a total of 78 chassis with engines fitted with AC2 bearing material, and out of this total, 21 chassis up to the moment have been delivered to customers.
