| 2/ 20 I have written to CJ and asked him when he wants 79H sent to Paris but have not yet had a reply. I have also written to the R W man at Paris. I notice CJ says there is now no need for us to stay in France - so had we better pack up when 69H has done 10000 miles, and leave the running to the amateurs? What shall we do with 69H. Leave it there or fetch it home? As regards oil consumption on 79H we are trying it with the rocker shaft feed stopped off altogether. If this improves the oil consumption what shall we do as a permanent job before CJ has it? Please wire me on receipt of this note. Waldron & Archer left here for Derby on Thursday last and are now no doubt at home. Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} | ||
