V.H.:S3 Hotel de France Chateauroux Indre 25.2.33. TO HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} From GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} I have received a letter from Dodd saying that they are having trouble with the rod from the Servo to the foot brake fouling and becoming bent. This no doubt is owing to the frozen snow on the road and there being insufficient protection for this lever. The undershield will have to be carried further up to protect it. GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} [Signature] | ||
