Hancock - Head Chateauroux} 35-EX. PHANTOM III. Hub Bearing. Replying to your memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}4/R.23.4.37, we removed one rivet only from the cage and this should have been in the parcel. All the others were missing and no pieces were found. It did not occur to us that they could have have been omitted in assembly, and assumed that they had come out and been chewed up, but could find no evidence of this. We will therefore accept your suggestion that they were omitted. ------------- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}/IMW.{Ivan M.
