| R.R. 235a (100 T) (S H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 79S. 10-12-20) G. {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2947 (2) (6) Through being messed about and belonging to nobody, and nobody having any particular interest in this chassis, it has departed considerably from the perfection of a RR. car, and I told the driver that I was very disappointed to see it leave Derby in this condition. (7) I understand that the dynamo had not been working for a week, and yet the car which depends upon battery ignition was sent out incapable of being charged on the road. The dynamo I understand is not a RR. dynamo. The battery was also being used for Klaxon and starting, asking for a stoppage on the road. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
