x2/2

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Smth.4/KW.24.8.36.

B-56-BN {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Clutch.

The thrust springs in this car are
not quite strong enough. When it comes into the
shop will you please change them for a set to Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 196.

We want the Hardy Spicer Propellor Shaft off
this car to discuss its final appearance with the
manufacturers. Will you therefore fit a standard shaft,
together with standard couplings on the axle and gearbox.
