Rear Propellor Shaft Joint. ---------------------------------- Messrs. Barkers point out that they are in trouble in allowing clearance for the lubricator fixed on to the joint, as it comes in contact with the cross bar for their body, this being the only place where such cross bar can be fixed. They suggest that we should consider moving this lubricator farther back so as to give the necessary clearance. We have had to complain to the Coachbuilders that this lubricator has been damaged owing to it catching the cross bar. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
