| Sft.{Mr Swift}2/MW.25.8.36. Brakes COMPLAINTS. With reference to the following memos. GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}/S/JAB. 17th August 1936. BY.11/G.21.8.36. Last week-end we received instructions from the D.O. to manufacture and supply GB.2407 Distance Piece, in S/N. 2063 (instead of BZ/PC.214 as at present used) to reduce the possibility of the Distance Piece collapsing when the Fulcrum Bolt is tightened up. This job is now in operation and we shall arrange to fit on production almost immediately, and will advise all concerned of the chassis number on which same is first fitted. Sft.{Mr Swift} | ||
