| -2- Ha/ZPH.4/14.4.32.cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Cylinder troubles being our main weakness, anything that will help to improve the reliability of this assembly deserves careful attention. As the use of a slipping clutch spanner ensures correct loading on the top cylinder joints; its use should see a substantial reduction in trouble from this source, and its adoption should be seriously considered. As a part of the spanner equipment, there is a device for checking the loading permitted by it. Ha/L.B.Hall. | ||
