This column is for Name of Person addressed. Mr Platford DATE. 1.8.12. TBB6/L1812. Below is an extract from report No. 417 re chassis 1414 (Sondheim). Will you kindly report on this matter. Lubrication of Car. " Excellent. The extra oiling device "was so arranged that it only came into "operation during the last 1/32inch travel "of throttle, instead of the last 1/8th or "3/16th as is usual. I shall be glad to "know in view of the continual high speeds "indulged in by the owner, whether this "was purposely so set by W., and if so, "whether they recommend this setting in "similar cases." [Handwritten note in left margin]: X740 [Handwritten reply]: W Barrington 1/8/12 No, any adjustment as regards above is made to suit each engine so as to get the best lubrication, all round lubrication.
