| Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Derby ..............Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X493 Levallois Srl/Crn.7.12.34. re: chassis GAE 2 - M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Poberejsky. Thanks for your memo. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml9/KW.3.12.34. I note with pleasure that you will have by now despatched a new high compression cylinder head for the chassis, together with the necessary gasket joint. With regard to silencers, I note with interest your remarks on this point. GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} has gone to Montléry with the Chateauroux chassis 21 G IV and also with M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Poberejsky's chassis GAE 3, with which we made previous tests. GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} will change over the silencers and carry out the necessary tests. The carburetters will also be changed over. At the time of writing I have no further information to hand, but will let you know the results of these comparative tests as soon as they are to hand. P.S. Since writing the above, I have had a visit from M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Poberejsky. This gentleman was full of 'moans', and it was for this reason that I sent you a wire this evening, reading :- ROBOTHAM CYLINDER HEAD NOT YET RECEIVED POBEREJSKY GETTING VERY AWKWARD PLEASE EXPEDITE - SLEATOR. Hope it will not be long before we get the parts, so that we can have a bit of peace. Sr. | ||
