| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y3806 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M16.1.29. 'SS{S. Smith}' CROSS STEERING TUBE. X.7425 X.3806 With reference to N.sdi.2797 sent you on Sunday last, we did not shew the lubrication from the Bijur system because from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG30.11.28. we think we have not the latest information as to the way oil is carried to the pads. The method of connecting the ball end to the pipe on the lever by means of an annulus and a hole in the taper stem of the ball end is no doubt the same as now. We xxx are not certain how the oil is carried out of the ball end on to the pads. Whatever you have found successful should be continued. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
