| HOTEL DE FRANCE. CHATEAUROUX(French test region). Indre. France. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /GWH {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} /4/JAB. 11th January 1937. To. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} [Handwritten]: Wyman What about it? Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} COMPLAINTS. In December I sent a memo and a sketch dealing with the rear lagging clip on the front expansion box on the Bentley. The complaint is a rattle in front of engine. The clip is found to have fallen off due to the end of the silencer lagging taking a rounded shape on this short end. A small piece of metal acting as a support for the clip can be welded on to the expansion box. On complaint cases at Kingsbury, I advised them to do this to prevent repetition cases. The expense is negligible. [Handwritten]: Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Instructed for production in December.
