Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}7/T10.6.31. 20/25HP Gear Box. We have been going into the question of the efficacy of the oiling scheme fitted to the gear box lids which is apparently intended to supply oil to the servo worm wheel. So far as we can see there does not appear to be any value in it at any speed within the working range. RECEIVED 1931 JUN 10 | ||
