| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 87960 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/MA.23.11.32. GLN.60. The two jobs which we require doing on this car are :- (1) Exhaust System. This requires a standard down take front expansion box and intermediate pipe fitting and also a fishtail to be supplied by Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} (2) Brakes. Lp{Mr Lappin}'s has complained that his brakes thump. The Car has been to Cricklewood two or three times but they have not been able to do anything for him. We think it will be necessary to chamfer the front brake shoes in order to cu-re this trouble. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
