| X766 G H Hancock c/o Hotel des Voyageurs Genève Switzerland 19/8/24 H.S. Arrived here OK at 11-15 AM. The weather to day is too cold for them to demonstrate their troubles, but from what I can gather the car boils going on the level roads in the city. No one here can speak a word of English so I am finding it rather awkward in dealing with them. but I find them very obliging and very business like. This afternoon I found out a complaint with one car chassis 78AS, this was on the dash board, which had a slack pivot pin steering side (Goshawk) can anything be done for them. Another Goshawk the steering is very tight. I'm going to go over this in the morning, also try to get on with my own job, will report to you as soon as I can get the information. G H Hancock | ||
