| AA.{D. Abbot-Anderson} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/ML.14.3.40. With reference to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AA.{D. Abbot-Anderson}6/B.5.3.40. the matter contained therein is quite sufficiently comprehensive and we should now get a proof booklet produced by Walker. My object is to convince Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} by means of the booklet that what we are recommending is the right procedure. It will be necessary to have some illustrations and sketches and you had better use your initiative on what is required. Some of the points will require amplification and you can get the necessary information from the Testing Staff. For instance - "How slack can the water pump bearings be before they require changing?" and - "What are the correct pedal movements?" Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
