| Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 346 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}17/R.25.1.37. RUBBER JOINTS WITH SHOCK ABSORBER LINKS. Replying to E.1/HP.16.1.37., I took the matter up with Leslie, and attached is his reply. This appears to be another case where more reliable information would have been obtained from the head tester of the particular section in question, i.e., Leslie, than from someone else in the department who does not know the whole story. We are going ahead running endurance tests. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
