GOSHAWK 11.

V4883

Referring to your memo. Wa{Mr Wallis}15/Go7.9.22. Report of Driver Toussaint Re. Goshawk.

We should like to know what is meant by - changed dynamo on account of faulty current. You had no spare dynamo. Does this mean the brushes were renewed?

In the Log Book, before you took over the car, we noticed the platinum points were attended to. Can you tell us whether those points were ever replaced or whether they were simply adjusted?

I am sorry I did not see you when you were here.

Perhaps you will let me know when you are coming again.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
