| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X300a Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/KW.8.7.35. We have had a talk with Hancock on the telephone. He has asked us for the following parts for his engine unit, which is No.5 :- Piston Liner New inlet and exhaust valve New exhaust valve seat Spare oil cooler. We think that we should not permit Hancock to run further with the drilled exhaust valves, and should therefore like to send him a complete set of valves to E.84829.
