| X111 3 HOTEL DE FRANCE. CHATEAUROUX. Indre. France. GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}/7/JAB. 20th August 1936. To. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} COMPLAINTS - PHANTOM II. SILENCERS. In view of the heavy costs in replacing the Staybrite silencers which in service do not appear to give long service, will you please instruct a front & rear silencer to be made in sheet iron aluminised. This could be fitted to Customer's car which gives the shortest life on silencers. It would be valuable to have the difference in cost. ---------- G.W.H. | ||
