G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} IV. As you will probably see from our Daily Reports, the two top studs of the Fan bracket have sheared. Fortunately no damage has been done to the Radiator but the bracket as well as the Blades are damaged. The Water Thermometer also broke off close to the Cylinder Bloc, so we are using one of the spares which we have here. Chassis B-23-AE On Sunday afternoon, a stone punctured the tank of the Bentley, but we were able to repair this. I handed the Car to the Showrooms last Monday at noon. ------------ GWH{George W.
