| X264 To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/KW.28.8.36. The clutch on B-56-BN{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} will not last very much longer and should be changed at the first opportunity. There is a most objectionable squeak on the offside of the car which wants attention. The idling is exceedingly bad. We shall be glad if you will investigate this and let us know why. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
