Re: 20/25 H.P. CHASSIS INSTRUCTION BOOK NO.XVI. We send herewith copies of the undermentioned Leaflets for insertion in the above book :- 40/20/25 - "Chassis Lubrication". Applicable to all chassis with centralised chassis lubrication. 41/20/25 - "Servo Bearing". Applicable to chassis commencing Series J2 (GBJ-1). With regard to No.40/20/25, we have had the whole of our stock of the No.XVI book equipped with this Leaflet, but it is not considered there is any need to circularise owners with it until or unless the question of chassis lubrication is raised by them. Leaflet No.41/20/25 has been inserted in the majority of our stock of the No.XVI book and further copies are available in the Stores. Will D/BP kindly note that a copy of this Leaflet should be sent to all owners since the beginning of Series J2. At the request of the Vacuum Oil Company we have had the Winter grade of Mobiloil "AF" altered to "BB" on page 111 in all books, the "AF" being no longer produced. Will you please alter your copy by hand. To Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}, Sr. and JLE{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager}, we are sending two copies of each of these Leaflets and to NRC.{N. R. Chandler} three copies of each as requested. BY/N.W. | ||
