Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 4/KW.29.10.37.

Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 6/R.1.11.37.

Fedden's car, I understand, was in the Repair Department last May for general decarbonization, also, 6 new pistons and 6 new bearings were fitted and the brakes adjusted. Under the circumstances, therefore, it would not appear advisable to suggest an overhaul.
