6.B.IV.
3.B.IV. went out to France on the 23rd February with the fixed grille radiator shutters and did comparison tests on Montlhery track with 6.B.IV. Owing to bad weather these were not completed for just over a week. After these tests 6.B.IV went to Chateauroux for the connecting rods to be changed, and then started running mileage on the 3rd March.
We attach to this memo three Daily Report Sheets which we have received from Hancock this morning.
