To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}
Hotel de France,
Chateauroux,
Indre, France.

Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}3/MH.{M. Huckerby}24.7.39.

CORNICHE.

We do not know what your wire about prop shafts really means but are sending you an arrangement drawing.

TYRES.

We are going to send you some more 7.50 x 16 Rayon Dunlops for 30.G.VII. The effect of these on the front of 14.B.V. would be interesting as they have far more self centering. We cannot yet send you the 6" rims as it has rained all this month and no Skid pan work has been done.

30.G.VII AXLE.

With regard to the bolts in the centre case becoming loose, can you find out whether this is due to stretching or inadequate locking. Lock washers would provide the answer.

WHEELS.

Have the 5" rims arrived ?
