| TELEGRAMS METROPOLE CANNES Hôtel L'Hermitage X9946 Monte Carlo HOTEL METROPOLE Cannes HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 16.2.24 apparently from RG {Mr Rowledge} 2 / W 13.2.24 there will be no final chassis (4 brakes) starting for France until about March 19, over a month, is this so? I was at Le Canadel(Henry Royce's French residence) day before yesterday & R mentioned that he had instructed dropping the high-speed Servo!! The E.A.C. reverse-pinion has seized. Will be running again on Tuesday I propose keeping Lanzo running this car daily to get engine supervision. No troubles so far, how are tests getting on. P.N. P.S. What about the stronger valve springs R referred to? | ||
