| 6135 To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}, from Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux}2/AP.13.1.37. WET Please deal with this Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 35-EX. Referring to the Daily Report on this car dated 28/29.10.36., it will be noted that trouble was experienced with the knob coming off one push pull switch on the dash. This allows the plunger to push right into the switch and in the case of 25/30 switches the plunger falls out at the back. This is a common failure both on 10,000 miles cars and in Service. What has been done about it.? There is a switch at present defective for this reason on 35-EX. Please attend to this. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/I.M.Waller. Jwaller | ||
