| To Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} K7340 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.2/KW.24.7.34. FOR DEPOT SHEET. Ph. II Rear Universal Joints. Chassis fitted with controllable dampers and low rating springs produced before the 51st chassis in S.E. series are liable to lose oil from the rear universal joints. This is due to distortion of the joint caused by insufficient angular movement. When propellor shafts on the affected chassis show signs of insufficient movement, the modification to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1361 should be made. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A.
