| Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/SM2/17513 Re Front Spring Shackles.(Rattling noise) X.433 R.{Sir Henry Royce} 7/5/13 Mr Johnson wishes us to bring before you the following extract from Mr Hanbury's memo AH6/CD2513 re G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} O.{Mr Oldham} Herbert Esq., Car No.2087E. "Mr Herbert said he had a slight rattling noise "from outside the front spring shackles and "cured this successfully by inserting a washer "of about 12/1000ths on the shackle bolt. "He has now a similar noise occasionally (which "he could not produce for me) from the near side "front spring, and he wishes to know whether "there is any harm in inserting a washer to "correct this also." We shall be glad therefore if you will kindly let us know your wishes re the above. p. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} | ||
