Smith}' UNDERSHIELD. X7290 It is necessary that there should be a hole in the undershield to enable the dynamic restrictions to be altered. This will probably only be done at Depots but we do not think nevertheless it should be necessary to take the undershield down. The same hole will also enable the filters in the shock absorbers to be cleaned. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
