Sidgreaves - MD}6/E.10.4.35. the modification can be introduced on production chassis immediately, as it is only a question of drilling a small hole in the existing connecting rods, and we are assuming that we are quite in order in instructing the Works at once without waiting for standardisation sheets being completed. Should it be desired to apply the modification retrospectively in cases of complaints or trouble arising, it can be applied on all chassis from the 1st in 'C' series. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
