| -2- RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}2/MS.4.1.35. Front Anchorage N.S. 4179. Both the ball pins FB.1497 which locate the front ends of the radius rods have broken at the neck and the taper holes in the anchor brackets FB.1495/6 are elongated. The mouth of these holes is weakened by the machining of the spigot which locates the mud excluder. Both radius rods are bent and the rear eye bolt in both anchor brackets is broken. RHC.{R. H.
