| R.R. 238 (24 sh) (PP. 119. 11.11.12) E.P. 2936. ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. INSTRUCTIONS. To Order No. Customer's No. 3 19 the lubricant into the bottom bush. We merely mention this as a suggestion as perhaps the bottom bushes of the Trials cars are not lubricated in this manner sufficiently frequently. We consider that this question should be made the subject of an experiment as it is quite a standard fault but we have not had an opportunity of going quite fully into the cause of this stiffness. Signed TWHarkness. This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
