| W/N - Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} 306 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM{Anthony F. Martindale}1/R.19.6.37. P.III COMPLAINTS - BRAKES. With reference to your memo Br4/LS.3.6.37. regarding the items (3), (4) and (5):- (3) Has been due to an error in marking off on production, and we have asked Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} to issue a Depot Sheet. Production is now O.K. (4) We have not seen a rusted up H.B. adjuster since it and the inner splines have been cadmium plated, but we used to have trouble with getting it out, due to cross binding until we made an extractor for it. We have had a drawing made of our extractor, and attach a print, and we will get an official tool drawing made, and the pieces supplied to Depots. (5) Has also been altered on production, and Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} has been asked to issue a Depot Sheet, which you ought to have received by now.
