| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Sr. 200a Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/E.1.2.37. PARTS FOR 6.B.IV. These parts were despatched on Saturday morning. Hernu Peron say they will be in Paris on Wednesday, February 3rd. The duty on them, I understand, amounts to £13, which is not as large as I expected. I have asked Sr. to decide whether he considers he can get them in on temporary importation or not. We should like you to go to Paris for the end of the week to get some running on 35-EX, and also ensure that the repair of 6.B.IV. is going forward. 3.B.IV. will be ready to go out next week, but we will hold it up until you have got some miles in on the car you have over there at present.
