| To Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /IMW. {Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les. (Chateauroux(French test region)) 600a Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les.9/AP.7.3.38 26.G.V1. We should like to know if there is any sign on the above car of the cross-steering tube ball end joints rubbing the front tyres. Will you also state the clearance on each side when the car is stationary. We find 27.G.Vl. {V. Lewis / Mr Valentine} tyres are marked, but possibly this is all due to your treatment on the Skid Pan.
