20 HP. CHASSIS SERVO LININGS.
With reference to BY12/G.21.5.30.
The Cotton-Duck was run on the 20 HP. with normal rivets. We agree, however, that the staple method of fixing which we ran on the last 40/50 test is preferable and we think that the use of staples is justified.
The Bijur lubrication was not fitted to supply oil to the fabric.
