| X212. To Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}17/KT.3.8.33. 3 1/2 LITRE BENTLEY - FLYWHEEL. With reference to Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}1/T31.7.33, we think that this is a difference case to those which we have previously examined. We can see no sign that the engine has been run up on to the master period. The trouble we think is due to inadequate locking of the nuts, but the matter has been already taken up by E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
