B-184-AH. T.H. Coats Esq. With reference to C21/C.3.10.34, we have no cure for the gear lever rattle at present, particularly if it occurs between the lever and the gate: If the rattle takes place between the other parts of the lever, particularly between the vertical rod and the lower pivot, an improvement can sometimes be made by fine limits being worked to. We think that Mr. Trayner knows as much about this as we do. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
