Thanks for your Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 2/AD.12.4.32. and the trouble you have taken over GLN-60. The engine is now much nicer without the period and I look forward to testing those new Synchro Mesh Gears at an early opportunity. I will, as you request, keep an accurate record of the tappet clearances. Lp. {Mr Lappin} [Stamp] RECEIVED 1932 APR 18 | ||
