| F.J.A to note Noted FJA X8992 Restaurant-Octobon., Le-Canadel. Par-Le-Lavandou. (Var) France. 7 .4. 28 Mr. Hives from Dodd. Everything going smoothly. 14.E.X. continues to run very satisfactory. We had a failure of electrical cut-out, due to a stud working loose. It was necessary to dismantle the cut-out from dash to make OK. We had a special bracket made for the spot-lamp, this having arrived without means of fixing. It is hardly necessary do you think? to send any more front springs out with the next car. We are getting along very well with these, and should only be able to make the return journey on the others. These springs would be quite OK for England.
