Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les/ 35.EX. - PHANTOM III. The two rear damper link bottom anchorage has sheared the splines. This job looks unfinished. The knocking on of the two anchorage levers without any method of holding them on does not appear to be according to design. One would have imagined that they should have been pinned. What is the position ? Both have been pinned for the time being. ---------- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
