6066 To Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} c: to C/Mt. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.14/JH. 2.8.36. Lucas Wind Horns off Car 37-EX. The treble horn, on the above car, has failed, apparently as the result of the resistance element, mounted inside the horn, burning through and breaking. Will you please have the pair returned to the makers, for their inspection and necessary repair. At the same time we should like them to be brought up to date, as regards the screw-type terminals and the locking of the body screws. 23309 - 1/9/36 Rec'd 31/10/36 (adv) HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
