To DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} From E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} -2- E5/G31/5/21.

washer had spread and the union nut was an unnecessarily tight fit on the nipple on the diameter marked "A" on the drawing. It was also thought that the collars of the nut and nipple were not strong enough, and had rolled out.
