E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/MA.21.8.33.

We have had a note from GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} in which he
says that the rivetting of the supporting brackets
of the air silencers are not up to the job.

We ourselves have had a failure. Will
you please look into this design.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
