| 1029 To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}5/JH.12.6.39. GIRLING BRAKES OPERATING WEDGES AND ADJUSTORS. We have instructed New Hudson to supply the above parts fitted with Mobil grease No.5. instead of white grease. Will you insure that the above grease is fitted in all 15,000 mile test cars and replaced in experimental chassis when these are in the shop for alteration. This does not apply to the hydraulically operated wedges but Mobilgrease No.5 should be used in the adjusters. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems} | ||
