| To Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} C PY X8360 RHC {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} 2/BE. 8.4.26. RE IMPROVED COVERS FOR REAR BRAKE OPERATING SHAFTS Covers G.73657-G.73662 which were removed from the Operating Shafts on 8.EX. Rear Axle were badly damaged through being battered by stones. In the case of the cylindrical mover this was so badly damaged that it would be impossible to thread it over the adjusting sleeves. The retaining nut for cover was also damaged. We would therefore reccomend that these parts should be made in steel instead of aluminium. Herewith damaged pieces. RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} | ||
