| K3/17 W/S - Vr.{E. S. Voller - Orders} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/KW.31.12.34. Smith's Hydraulic jacks. Replying to Vr{E. S. Voller - Orders}21/MG.28.12.34, we have tried these jacks on 5-B-IV, but have not yet had sufficient experience with them to be able to pass an opinion on them. Actually we consider that they will have to run 10,000 miles in France before we can release them. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
