| ToHS From JMc Hotel de France Chateauroux Indre As requested by Mr Gaye, we have today tested and checked over the main Bijur system for oil leaks. With the oil at 18° cent. all joints were found to be OK and free from leaks. All the Bijurs on the O/S line were removed for examination each plug was found to be in good order. A slight oil leak has developed from the mechanics joints at both ends of the prop. shaft. This was noticed after the last road test after the car had stood over night. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} McStay.
