Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}/NS.{Norman Scott} c. Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}/CRL.{C. R. Lisson} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM{Anthony F. Martindale}2/R.12.9.38. B.III HAND BRAKE LEVER. On Wraith we found that the hand brake lever lower bell crank got damaged by stones and seized up; accordingly we added the shield GCD.446. B.III hand brake is just as exposed but has no shield. Will you please have the same shield added to Bentley L.O.P. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
