| -2- Em/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/MH.{M. Huckerby}8.3.39. In our opinion the nuts securing the axle tubes (if studs are used) should be locked in pairs by tab washers to prevent oil leaks. As the 10" crown wheel semi-floating axle has not yet been drawn we suggest modifications on the above lines should be incorporated. Em/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
