WYMAN 113 To. BY/SB.{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}.. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} c. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}12/N.18.5.39. Wraith - Front Exhaust Expansion Chamber Supports - WXA-37. Mileage 9,961. I am forwarding to you two tubular supports of the front expansion chamber which have broken. In my opinion the bottom flattened ends should be longer to allow for increased springiness. As it is, the change of section is too short in length to allow for the movement of the exhaust system. RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} By/SB{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister} has replied to this. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} GWHyman | ||
