Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/MJ.23.11.31. MR. FAIREY'S CAR. The following work is required on Mr. Fairey's car :- (1) New valve springs fitted, during which the opportunity will be taken to decarbonise and regrind valves. (2) Latest ribbed brake drums fitted, to be supplied by the Expl. Dept. (3) Shock absorber loading checked. Mr. Fairey thinks these loads have deteriorated. (4) He wants the original bright dashboard lamps fitted as he dislikes the green ones. Cricklewood apparently removed his original lamps, so if we fit new ones we ought to be able to arrange matters with them. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
