| S-1113 To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}6/JH.10.12.36. 36-EX. The trouble of hand brakes sticking on in Service and on 35-EX has been complained of on this car. The floor boards were therefore removed and it was found necessary to clear away over an inch of woodwork in order to give the lever its full travel in the quadrant. It was also necessary to cut a portion out of an angle iron floor board support. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
