| X9940 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY/C22/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 24. 6. 24. E.A.C. FOUR WHEEL BRAKES. With reference to Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} 21. 6. 24. we find that the oil catcher referred to was shown on N.Scheme 1780, but on this same scheme several modifications were shown which it was decided need not be carried out, but this oil catcher had been omitted. We are, however, instructing this experimentally and for production, and until this has been tried out we consider it might be advisable not to instruct the Works to the effect that the hubs should not be filled with grease as pointed out in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG. 18. 6. 24. We would like to know if you agree to this. BY/C. | ||
