| N/W - Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} LE.1/H/4.12.40. Re: Hispano Brake Drum. I have made a number of enquiries and have written both to Chevrollier and Briand asking them if they can supply me with a brakedrum but so far have not had a reply. Chevrollier's premises have been blown up, but a man in the nearby Garage thinks he may be able to find out what happened to all his spares. I will write you later if I have any success. J.L.E. | ||
