To BY; from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X5840 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}9/LG15.6.25. A-G-III 93-NR - LUBRICATORS. X5840 V3898 We have had a report from France in connection with 9-G-lll to say that the lubricator on the leather covers at the rear end of the front springs fouls the undershields to such an extent that they have cut a groove in same. This is due to insufficient clearance on maximum bump. They have taken out the lubricator and plugged up the hole. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
