Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} S. to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RJ. 400B Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EC.1/JL.20.5.41. Herewith copy of my assistants report on the work done on 8.B.V. It is to be noted that the faulty & ill-stop reverse light unit was no doubt responsible for the shorts experienced from time to time on the lighting system of this car. The worn out ignition contact may have been responsible for the faulty ignition experienced recently. This is quite normal since the car has completed over 70,000 miles.
