| 261 H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/R.20.11.36. B.42.FB. - Flt.Lt. Staniland. Replying to H10/H19.11.36., we have completed the practical work on this car, and it is now in the hands of the Repair Dept. for attention to timing gears. We anticipate that it may be ready to go down to Park Ward's on Wednesday of next week. By this time Flt.Lt. Staniland will have had our Experimental car 10 days and we cannot spare it any longer. We suggest, therefore, that Park Ward's should accommodate the customer while his complaints, attributable to their workmanship, are being dealt with. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
