| COPY. To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} From G.W.H. Hotel de France, Chateauroux, FRANCE. 2.PER.II. 3.12.32. We have received the two steel brackets F.100254. These will not be fitted, without the aluminium ones fail, as we believe the trouble was due to the damp or arm fouling. This mornings' run has proved the necessity of the clutch pit to have a positive pressure. No oil was collected from the rear of the engine after the fitting of the cup to catch the draught under the floor-boards. We lost a quantity of water from the radiator this morning from some uncertain cause. It is very strange because it has been so consistent in keeping the level. G.W.H. | ||
