| To Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} From G.W.H. Hotel de France Chateauroux(French test region) Indre x2941 67 28/4/29 W. Brazier did not arrive at Chateauroux(French test region) until late on Saturday night owing to the boat train being late from Boulogne and due to trouble with the customs over returning the parts. There should have been a seperate invoice for the parts that have to be returned. We have only received one lever for the equalizing shaft for reducing the front brakes. We do not know whether it is possible to reduce the front braking by one lever, will someone tell us how to do it also we do get reduced front braking by our method and to say we dont means that our results are otherwise than what we say they are. We are fitting up the servo with the cotton duck washers also setting the new cross steering tube G.W.H. | ||
