X 5520 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG21.4.27. 10,000 MILES TEST ON 10-G-111 IN FRANCE. We have been trying forced feed lubrication to the bearings of the shock absorbers on this car. We anticipate the trouble with leaks and those mentioned in the daily reports are undoubtedly partially due to this alteration which we do not propose to standardise.
