| 600 To By/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}2/MH.{M. Huckerby}17.5.38. REAR END OIL RETAINER (WRAITH & BENTLEY) We have tested out the scheme ECD.238 with promising results, but which is not a complete cure. By reverting to an early drawing Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}457 which we attach herewith the only difference to ECD.238 are the end covers which we think are well worth trying out. Will you please detail and instruct for two sets of end covers to be made as per Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}457, the crank is already in existence.
