Hallam - Head Repairs} Baron Buffin. -------------------- With reference to the failure of the axle tubes on the above car, which you referred to in your telephone conversation today, it is unnecessary for you to return the old tubes to us as we have since explained to Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} that this was not the original axle fitted to the car but was a service axle of rather uncertain origin.
