| x200a HOTEL DE FRANCE CHATEAUROUX, Indre. France. 28th May 1935. Wyman- Do you agree with this? Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} To. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} From. G.W.H. 5. B. IV. We have today received the front Engine mounting rubbers. The bottom small rubbers which take the thrust of the Engine are too playable, and the hole is larger in the spiggot of the rubber than at the top. It looks as if the mould is taper. If it was the reverse way round, it would not matter as much. We shall fit them on the first opportunity and see whether they stop the movement of the Engine endways. The Car is, at the moment, running very well. ------------ GWHancock G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} W. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} | ||
