Sidgreaves - MD} (struck through) Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} (struck through) Rg{Mr Rowledge} (struck through) DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} (struck through) Dy.{F R Danby} (struck through) Report on 18-EX after 18,000 miles. In reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GYL/LG25.4.29. the general lubrication results appear to be very encouraging. I should like to know whether in the case of the cross steering tube - both ends of which became badly scored by grit - more effective protection has since been arranged for these parts.
