| -2- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}3/N.11.8.38 Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} All springs examined and dampers checked. Exhaust silencers attended to, electrical outfit attended to. This at a mileage of 11,960. It would seem that the Owner pays little attention to the car and uses his brakes hard with hard driving. A check will be taken of the bore wear of the replacement block. The rebored block you are sending down will be fitted to a car that can be reasonably checked, and the wear factor will be noted.
