Martindale}1/MH.{M. Huckerby}16.6.38. B.III SERVO TEST RIG. In order that we can test the servo on the new gear box now being assembled in the shop, we want the bucket shown on Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}543 making out of sheet steel, as quickly as possible. The bucket is pumped full of water, applies the brakes and then empties itself. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
