| R.R. 235 a (400 T) - S.C. 546. 15-2-18) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 1546. -2- R5/G30718. Contd. round the pivot at the point at which the fracture commenced. Any cars subject to very rough use should be occasionally examined in this respect, and if it is found that some are cracked, it will be advisable to make it a ruke of changing all front pivots, the cost of which, if the cars are old, should be partly borne by the owners. When such an examination was taking place, it would be advisable to take particular note of the finish of the part. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
