| 48940 Hotel de France, CHATEAUROUX. Indre. GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}I/Crn.13.4.25. To: "HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" From: G.W.Hancock. --------------------- Could you please send out with Marston a flexible coupling, with right-angle connection, for Enots grease gun. Also, please send a 4 volt inspection lamp for looking inside cylinders. The weather is getting hot over here, but we are not experiencing any trouble with boiling so far, although we believe that this has a lot to do with our oil consumption being excessive. G.W.HANCOCK. P.S. Will you please let us know if a further 10,000 miles has to be run with the new coupling when fitted. [Signature] | ||
