| G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} W. Hancock, Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, FRANCE. r5840. To GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} From Ha/Rn.{Mr Robinson} Ha/Rn.{Mr Robinson}3/MJ.20.3.30. We have had a case on a customer's car of the woven cotton lining tearing away from the servo plate. You will remember that we did not use cotton-duck on the first 10,000 mile run on 18-EX and only fitted it towards the end of the 10,000 miles on 22-EX. We should therefore like you to examine the servo on the 20 HP. and report on it. Ha/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
