| 261. W/S - C. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}22/JH.25.8.38. Raymond Mays Car. With regard to your telephone message that there has been a failure of the aluminium brake drum on this car, can you arrange for the car to come to Derby? Firstly, we should like to see exactly what has happened, and secondly we shall be able to find out whether we have any spare drums that will fit his car, or whether we must decide to fit the best iron drum that we have.
