| rs{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary}-840 G.W. Hancock, Esq., Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, FRANCE. To GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}3/WJ.18.12.30. Thank you for your note of the 16th.inst. We note what you say about booms. Whilst we should like to know what you can do to make these booms better, we believe, that the best thing to do is to get the mileage finished as soon as possible then get the car back to Derby. Running on the drums here we can separate the exhaust boom from the engine boom and find out exactly upon what part of the chassis to work. Obviously for this job 18-G4. body is ideal. As soon as we have got results we shall send another car over to France to test the bits. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
