Copy of a letter No.LP/PP dated the 25th July 1935 from Messrs
John I. Thornycroft & Co., Ltd., Thornycroft house, Smith Square,
Westminster, London, S.W.I, to Messrs A .M.Yateem Brothers, Bahrain
We are in receipt through our Head Office of your letter
of the 14th July, enclosing original letter from the Officiating
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
, which we return.
I
We cannot admit that the trouble in this case was due
either to defective design or workmanship. The ball bearing in
the starter pinion is efficiently held in place by the method
which you will see detailed on the enclosed sketch, and out of
some 2000 engines which we have supplied with this type of gear
we have only known of one case of the ball bearing getting loose.
This was proved to be due to the engine attendant having omitted
to pull out the tee handle which engages the starting pinion,
running the engine up to 1500 revolutions, which connotes a speed
of 6000 revolutions of the pinion. In this case we had an
opportunity of examining the pinion and we found that undoubtedly
the ball bearing had been running round loose in it and had worn
away the projecting lip which we put on with the forming tool.
In the circumstances we regret that we can make no
abatement of the charge made for the work done in this case.
