| Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre. France. To ns{Norman Scott}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} From GeH. 18th November 1934. R.{Sir Henry Royce} Pattinson arrived to-day with 21 G 1V. I have tried the car. Its riding qualities, steering, noise, vibrations, clutch manipulation are very distressing. One redeeming feature is that the braking is good, but they are inclined to thump. We will send you a detailed account of the numerous faults after a further trial. G.W.H. G.W.Hancock | ||
