contd :- -6- The bodywork stood up remarkably well throughout the test. The windows got very hard to wind owing to damp swelling the felt packing of the glass window guides. Very few rattles developed. The semi isolation scheme has kept the scuttle steady and appears to be satisfactory. Wings and stays were O.K. at the finish of the test. Our report on Lubrication covers the general condition of the bearings etc. -------------- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
