| 663. To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}1/JH.7.3.39. WXA.2. Will you please remove the servo on the above and inspect for oil on the linings. This servo is still fitted with slots in the driven plate which was deleted for production, and through which we believe the oil enters. A solid plate should be fitted. The brakes should also be examined at the same time. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems} | ||
