x995 TBB20/L201211. Mr DeLooze 20/12/11 With reference to the attached letter from Mr Moreland's driver dated December 12th, the revised copy of the instruction book in which will be included the new axle and propeller shaft, will be published in the new year. The lubrication of the propeller shaft is affected by a plug in the torque tube, and the lubricator on the end of the trunnions supporting the ball end of the torque tube. Our opinion of the bolt valve fitted with the Michelin detachable rims, is that this device is quite safe and is satisfactory, providing this bolt valve is correctly balanced. | ||
