| X S 200 N/W. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls} from Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} Br1/W.2.10.33. re Technical - 20/25 h.p. Clutch Slip. ----- Thank you for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}4/KT.30.9.33. from which we note that you will be coming to N. on Wednesday next with reference to the above complaint. We are afraid, however, that we cannot forecast whether there will be any cars available with this trouble in evidence on that day. Cars usually arrive here without warning and we are always pressed to give an early date for delivery. You will see, therefore, that it is always a matter of luck as to whether we shall have a case of clutch slip available at any given time. Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} | ||
