Waller - Head of Chateauroux}/6/JAB. 17th March 1937. To. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c.c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} 6. B. IV. While being towed home in this car, I had the misfortune to over-run the cable, and as a result, a piece has been broken off the inner rib of the N.S.F. aluminium brake drum and both cross steering tube levers appear slightly bent. I do not think enough damage has been done to upset the steering or the brake, and at present require no replacements. ----------------- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W.
