| W/S. To Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} 261 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}5/AP.1.7.37 Re. The Marquis of Cholmondeley - Chassis B.169.GP. We have looked into the question of a 11 X 43 axle for this owner but find there is not one on the ground at the moment. The Repair Department have several sets on order for Paris but these will not be completed before the end of July. It seems therefore, impossible for Cholmondeley to have a higher ratio axle fitted before the beginning of August. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
