| E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}13/MA.14.5.34. Some little time ago we shook the oil union on the section side of the pump loose. This resulted in almost complete loss of oil pressure. Last week we shook the water drain tap open. We think both these items require consideration to avoid the troubles encountered.
