| X 300 a HOTEL DE FRANCE. CHATEAUROUX. Indre. France. GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}/7/JAB. 23rd November 1935. To. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} From. G.W.H. 31. EX. - PHANTOM III. Re Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.I4/KW 12.11.35. The silent bloc bushes fitted to the rear Roll Rod have given no trouble and have remained quiet. We should however reccommend larger diameter and to be vulcanized to the bearing and Roll Rod so as to act as dampers. Re. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} I4/KW/15.11.35. We had no further trouble with the rear shock damper bolts becoming loose, evidently it had not been securely tightened up in the first place. Re. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. II/MA. 18.11.35. The rubber bushes of the flexible coupling of the Dynamo drive gave no trouble. The bolts were still a tight fit when we fitted new rods. ------------- G.W.Hancock. G.W.H. | ||
