Hallam - Head Repairs} X8430 BY/Cgh{W Clough}6/G.2.5.28. re PHANTOM CHASSIS CONTROLS. ----------------------------- With reference to Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}7/T.23.4.28. in connection with the felt packings in the top of the steering column drying up, we suggest that to enable oil to get to the packing a groove should be provided as shown on sketch attached hereto. We think this suggestion should be tried out before we make more elaborate alterations, and should be glad if you would arrange to do this. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
