| 1262 EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}2/JH. 18th. January, 1939. J.A. Daniell Esq., Messrs. Hardy Spicer & Co.Ltd., Birch Road, Witton, BIRMINGHAM.6. Dear Mr. Daniell, We have noticed that the 1350 type propellor shafts you are now supplying for Wraith production chassis, have a small pressed in cap in the lubricating hole in the star piece. As we think our Service Station may want to replenish joints on the cars after about 15,000 miles, we are wondering how this cap is removed, whether there is a screw thread for the temporary insertion of a nipple, and whether it is then necessary to put in a new pressed cap. Will you please let us know about this point. Yours sincerely, | ||
