| To - BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} c.c. Mr. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} MHC. 8148. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner}1/HP.11.1.33. [Stamp: RECEIVED JAN 12 1933] re Peregrine. Please receive herewith: LeC.3343 - Water Drain Tap. LeC.3346 - Modification to the Oil pump. The reason for altering the oil pump is to provide more clearance between the forward end of the pump casing and the cross steering tube. Although when the axle is on maximum bump there is .6 clearance between the tube and the pump casing, there is evidence on the 10,000 miles car that the cross steering tube has fouled the pump.
