I have examined a case of wheel driver knock, and the trouble is due to the fitting up of wheel drivers dry. These were perfectly dry and rattled. All that was done to quieten them was to liberally smear them with Duckham's grease. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
