| Y3322 Mr. c.Her/ort. c.Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY5/H. 31.12.24. 40/50 HP. CHASSIS. REVERSE PINION SEIZING UP. I think the best remedy for the trouble in question is a floating bush. We have got a Standardization Sheet for this already, and I have instructed that we should at once produce the floating bush type pinion, and as soon as material is available, scrap any of the present type material. I believe the adoption of the floating type bush will overcome the trouble. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
