Technical Report: (Left Box) Fitting of CE-SX but has given trouble in service. Over 10,000 miles, it is the rule rather than the exception, that this has been altered, and has been the subject of adverse comment. (Right Box) The proposed system enables pipes to be dismantled without any evidence of soldered or brazed joints, as on the last 31 G.J. chassis. A union joint has been used which simplifies the fitting and also improves the system. The number of the first chassis on which the new part will be fitted..... Date when chassis will be needed to test............................ 15th.Oct.1932 Cost of scrapped material, if any...... Nil. Cost of jigs and tools................... Nil. APPROVALS: C.
