| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}1/MJ.21.8.30. [Handwritten:] X7 941a Y X7980 X7941a We are reporting in our 10,000 mile report the unsatisfactory method of lubricating the accelerator pedal shaft. This is hand oiled with a small Rotherham lubricator and is fitted in an inaccessible position which will be entirely overlooked with the use of the central lubrication scheme. This should be brought in line with the control lubricating scheme so that all hand oiling is done away with under the floor boards. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.Hencock. | ||
