To: "HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" From: G.W.Hancock. ---------------- Will you please get Bagley's driving license renewed, as this will be required on his return to England. Re top leaf of 93 NK front spring breaking. This spring has run 10,311 miles. The appearance of the breakage gives one the impression of a flaw in the material, as per sketch :- Re 9 G III. The oil leak from the back of the flywheel is apparently getting worse. As we do not like this state of affairs, we are going to dismantle the bottom half of the engine, to see if we can investigate the cause of it. Generally speaking, this car is nothing but oil leaks, and is a source of trouble. If one gave an honest report on the car, they should condemn it. G.W.Hancock. fed up | ||
