| Exptl. Dept. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 4/KW. 14th February, 1935. Captain Wilks, The Rover Company Ltd., Coventry. Dear Capt. Wilks, Thank you for your letter of February 11th. The majority of the noise occurs on the over-run when the free wheel is locked up. When the free wheel is in use there is only a slight noise such as one would expect from moderate axle gears under light load. I hope to get over to have a look at your Coachwork Section in about a fortnight's time, but will let you know later. Yours sincerely, | ||
