Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst. c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} 32-EX. PHANTOM III. Insulated Plug Terminals pulling off wires. JTM We are amazed at West's memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst.7/JH. 15.7.37, dismissing a real trouble in such a cursory manner. 49/36? The first paragraph is not true. My Bank is fitted with Helsby cable which has given the same trouble as the Johnson & Phillips on "A" Bank to which he refers. The second paragraph is also untrue. GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} has reported that the trouble exists in service, and Bullamore tells us that he has frequently met with the same thing in the Test Department on new chassis. ------------ Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMG. | ||
