Herewith the following scheme :- F.CD.94 Stiffened Flange on Bottom Support Bracket. There is complaint of an oil leak at the junction of the bottom support bracket FW.908 and the adjusting sleeve (see Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/J.H.6/AP.10.9.37) due to the flange not being sufficiently rigid.
