| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3806 BY10/G.25.10.27. CENTRALISED CHASSIS LUBRICATION. We have received from America three sets of drip plugs which were ordered prior to our request for the Banjo type drip plugs. Personally I do not consider we should bother to make the special adapters to enable us to use the drip plugs received, as we have received a cable from OY. stating they hope to deliver the Banjo type drip plugs in Derby on Novr. 11th. I am also sending a list of the drip plugs which was sent by RR. of A.{Mr Adams} as in the event of your wishing to use these particular plugs no doubt the list will be of assistance to you. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
