| Mis. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}2/KT.2.3.33. PEREGRINE SERVO. This is to ask you to make sure that no further cars are fitted with the old type swinging arm. Unfortunately both the old and latest type have the same piece number G.100600. The former have a .5625" hole for the lubricator and on the latter the diameter of the hole is increased to .875". With the old type the front brakes cannot come fully on. On 4.Per.II we have temporarily removed the lubricator. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
