GOSHAWK 11. UNIVERSAL JOINTS. X4254

We send herewith N. scheme 1456. shewing a modification to the position of the Enots lubricator on the rear universal joint to avoid the trouble which is experienced at present in these joints being knocked off due to insufficient clearance with the body.

We should like you to fit one of these up experimentally as quickly as possible, as we think this is a very urgent job which ought to be put right at once.
