| To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} . From G.W.H. Hotel de France? Chateauroux(French test region). Indre. 17/7/29. We have to day changed the axle and tried out tests with various loads. The joggles are decreased but to day there was a heavy cross wind which made the steering unstableand no true results could be obtained. We therefore devoted our time to temp. tests with the fan in the standard position and .750 from the metrix. The results obtained differ from ourprevious tests. To day the temp. remained the same in each case ie. max. 95° with a atmospheric temp. of 32°. We shall verify these results while again testing the Axle. [Signature G.W.H.] 126 | ||
