| -3- Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}10/T19.5.36 Oil Leak. All steering boxes leak oil badly and after further attention by the Works, although there is considerable improvement, the leak has not been entirely overcome. Controls. Rattling of controls is a very annoying feature and is bound to lead to complaints. We consider the felt ring fitted to the top end of the outer control tube is too low down to support the controls properly. | ||
