Sevres/W Ps to "Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}" Copy "Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" Y4013. Ps2/MIB.16.5.30 re: Chassis-114-WJ-Mr. Pereire I have just examined the engine coupling of this car which has run 2.000 kms. The fabric disc has splayed very badly, and should be changed. Have you had similar case ? You know what I mean by splaying disintegrated perhaps is a better word. Will you kindly send us 2 or 3 couplings and say 21 new bolts and nuts ( castle nuts) with conic heads to modify these couplings I spoke about in my memo concerning 35-WJ. Ps. | ||
