| R.R. 235 a (200 T) (S.F. 103, 25-10-18) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2244. EH from Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Copy to Capt. Hallam Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X7430 RE LUBRICATION OF CONTROL SPHERE ON 40/50 CHASSIS. I understand from Mr. Hanbury that there is some doubt as to whether this part suffers through its inaccessibility from under oiling. Do you find in practice that this part generally suffers from under oiling and what amount of attention, as regards lubrication does this part usually demand. Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} | ||
