Waller - Head of Chateauroux}/8/JAB. 15th April 1937. To. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} o.{Mr Oldham} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} 6. B. IV. MAIN OIL PIPE. The special steel pipe from the oil pump to the Tecalemit filter is attached to the sump by two clips held by the sump bolts. The clip at the filter end has worn deep grooves round the pipe, which indicates the movement of the filter, even with the steadying stay fitted. We intend to delete the two clips as they do not prevent movement and also wear into the pipe, and might cause it to break. ------------- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W.
