I have been made privy to th. origin of one of the "dirt. tricks" used at the Seddoi Atkinson service training centr, to wake up the boys at the back This, as I explained in CA October 5, is to pull the key 01.1 of the rnainshaft of a Fulle gearbox, shake all the gears scatter pieces and gradinc washers into a heap and invite , volunteer to reassemble them.
F. Shaw, workshop forernal with the Thames Wate Authority at Rickmansworth tells me he was on a trainini course with Seddon Atkinsot the first time the gearbox wa. disernbowled. A Fuller enginee who was to have given instruc tion on it was delayed by be< weather, so John Baxter an( Gerry Fishwick, of Seddoi Atkinson, reluctantly tried thei hands.
My correspondent tells th, rest of the story: "All went we' until that cursed rubber barn decided it had had enough an went into orbit, resulting in tha long key descending rapidly and, presto, someone was hol ding a shaft in his hand, with large heap of you-know-what lying on or rolling about th floor. It all ended up with th Fuller engineer showing ther and us 'just how easy it all is'.'
