Notes |
Donor stated that these wheel drives systems were constantly breaking down and wearing out and that no one had previously planned maintenance for them. Therefore, he and Kasten decided to put together a manual to help prolong the life of these systems. Apparently it was quite successful as G.E. printed their manual that is still used today. |
