To link up with Design or Experimental any matters arising out of Owners Complaint Reports. 2. To take any necessary action in connection with reports from GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} at Depots. 3. To centralise all information regarding Depot Sheets. 4. To maintain a complete cost check on retrospective work, and to issue revised instructions if this amount of money is not achieving the results anticipated. 5. To draw up for future models, schedules indicating the mileages and circumstances under which work becomes chargeable or otherwise. 6. To prepare the proposed Service Manuals for the use of Service Agents in connection with future models. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
