| By/Scott. c. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} 300B (handwritten) Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.19/JH.17.8.37. 39-EX Threaded Shackles. In view of the fact that the small diameter threaded shackles have been successful in France on 32-EX, whereas the large front shackle has siezed, we want to run the above car in France with the small pin as shown on LeC.5668 fitted to front spring eye LeC.5672. Will you please make a drawing showing how the existing parts can be adopted. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
