Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} 3/1/14. R4/P 31.12.13. Re Mrs. Holden - 2495. With reference to the water getting into the front pivots, would the use of grease, and the hole drilled vertically from top to bottom prevent a recurrence of this trouble. It must be tested. I cannot think there would be much trouble with water getting into this part, if it is kept well oiled. R.{Sir Henry Royce} (Sgd) F.H.R. X/081 | ||
