| To I. Waller (Chateauroux) 1113 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}11/R.20.4.37. We shall be more pleased if you will get on with the mileage than carrying out tests for Paris. There have been sufficient oil temp. tests and plug tests, the results of which Sr. can have for the asking. The oil consumption on 35-EX is very disconcerting. Why has it dropped from 1327 to 805 M.P.G. in three days? What hours of running are you doing now ? We have received a report on Bentley 6.B.IV - Sparking Plugs, but no date. When was this carried out ?, Why are the tappets audible up to 20 M.P.H. and not above? ---------- Will Behnan state the name of the Bank he deals with. The over-charge for telegrams has been reported. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
