SHOCK DAMPERS. This is to confirm that you will look into the question of substituting dole fittings for the banjos on the governor control. With reference to the gland, we find that you were correct in the gland you shewed on N. sch. 3634, it being used on the P.II. rear and 20/25 HP. front. The original gland, of which we were thinking, is now confined to the 25 HP. rear F.57388. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
