Coverley - Production Engineer}/SB.{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}1/MC.3.2.38 putting forward suggestions on the above axle, we have no objection to suggestions No.1 & 2 but think that our quantities will not be sufficient to justify the use of special oil seals incorporating the guide cones. We are, however, obtaining quotations from the Oil Seal manufacturers. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} | ||
