One of the hinges on the heavy outer lid of the Knotlow Engine Shaft has sheared off. The lid can still be opened with care, but any twists or drops will risk breaking the other hinge. I've got the hinge part at home and we've hatched a plan to go up with a generator and arc welder on the 4th of April, so it will get sorted. Until then be careful with the lid.
At the same time we'll try to replace the rusty hinge bolts on the Whalf Engine Shaft inner lid, and fettle the plate on the Whalf Climbing Shaft where the nut is being drawn into the hole.
