Jack Olding Thanks for your Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}1/N9.6.39 re an axle failure on this car. Can we see some of the bits please? This appears to be the first we have heard of it, as we cannot trace a Complaint Report. Actually, the crown wheel is secured by studs, and we are a bit doubtful as to which locking ring you refer to. Perhaps you will be good enough to let us have a bit more information.
