Sidgreaves - MD}12/E2.11.31 Thanks for Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}11/KT.30.10.31. I sent the car to N. some few days ago and I am pleased to say that they have been able to cure the squeak. Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} tells me that they found that the boss on driving flange G.76870 was running slightly out of truth and was fouling part No.G.7677605, and they trued the boss up so that it had clearance.
