Waller - Head of Chateauroux} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}14/JH.16.9.38. 8.B.V. Steering. It is intended that the improved geometry levers should follow 8.B.V. to France and be fitted out there. These levers necessitate a modified shape of the holes in front pan as shown on FB.4073. Will you please incorporate these holes while the engine is out of the chassis as this work would be very difficult in France. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev.
