| X45830a. G.W.Hancock, c/o Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, FRANCE. To GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/KT.3.3.33. Dodd has returned with the Bensport pistons. Unfortunately we have no more castings to the piece number in question, but we are rushing some through with the modified gudgeon pin fixing. We hope to have these ready by Tuesday when we shall send them out to you. We do not think it will be necessary to change the cylinder block as it had no bearing on the cause of the trouble and for the time being we are not interested in the slow running of this car.
