| CHATEAUROUX. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux}/I2/JAB.26.7.37. To. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} 26.G.VI.- WRAITH. Junction Box for Rear Lights. The junction box under the rear number plate is in the direct line of fire of stones. The lid{A. J. Lidsey} has been knocked off and the box is rapidly getting knocked to bits. The same trouble was experienced on 3.B.IV. and noted in the 15.000 miles report. We are surprised that this detail has not been modified on such an important job as the Wraith. It only requires to be mounted a few inches higher up, and no trouble would occur. ----------- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} Frank Waller. | ||
