6066 To Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to G/Mt. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.10/JH.17.9.36. Lucas Wind Horns off Car 36-EX. Will you please arrange for the return of the above pair of horns, for overhaul and repair. Our complaint in connection with these horns is that the lower contact on the alto horn, appears to be loose in its attachment to the blade; as it was observed in operation that sparking occured on the underside, between contact and blade. We would also like them to be modified to bring them up to standard. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. Handwritten notes: o/24634 19/9/36 Rec'd 28/9. (add) | ||
