309a To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}8/AP.19.11.36. 35-EX. We want to be able to know the oil temperature of the back axle on this car during its run in France. Will you therefore please prepare a small adaptor which fits the filler plug and is suitable for a Negretti type thermometer. We do not think this latter should be permanently fitted as it will probably foul the rear seats on maximum bump. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
