Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} In the discussion on Monday morning both Burkett and Le Evans stated they knew it was valve sticking, to which I retorted they were very clever people to definitely state that fact at the time of the inquest, and to Le Evan's remark that had I not butted in the engine would have been pulled down and rectified, whether the cost had been doubled or not. The Owner was not inconvenienced as a trials car had been loaned to her. This is Cricklewood's reply to an endeavour to keep down expense. Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} is absent.
