Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} 8 600a Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.10/MR.3.1.38. 26.G.VI CAR. Will you please fit a drain pipe to the water drain tap of this car to drain through the hole provided in the undershields. This pipe should have a bore slightly larger than that of the tap if possible, and should be a tight push fit in a counterbore in the tap body. It should be held in position by a taper pin or sweating if the latter can be done without spoiling the tap seating. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. | ||
