| COPY. S/W.EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} LE9/H/14.7.26. CHASSIS 21-DC. When we tested this car yesterday with Oliver, we found that the servo was grabbing very badly. We dismantled the servo and found that the pegs were very rusty indeed and consequently very tight in the bushes. Oliver has attended to this point and the servo is now O.K. From the appearance of these pegs it would seem that we ought to take some action to prevent similar occurrences. This chassis has been standing at Coachbuilders since the end of March. J.L.E. | ||
