| W/P. To Sr. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell} c. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}1/MH.{M. Huckerby}21.10.38. y 1245. CHASSIS B.64.KT. (MR.R.FAYE). Regarding the complaint sheet (P.117) 17.10.38, is this the same job as described in your memo Sr/VA.13/GM. 4.7.38 reporting that the main bearings and crankshaft were badly scored ? If so, the bearings as returned were examined and found to be the correct AC.7 material, in consequence as per the memo By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}/G.8.7.38 we are at a loss to give an explanation for the main bearing trouble. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell} | ||
