Hancock - Head Chateauroux} Copy to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Levallois Sr/VA2/ET.2.II.38 Re: BENTLEY - REAR SILENCER. In answer to your RmGWH.4I/N.25.10.38, we can definitely state that the pieces of metal which we found in the rear silencer were not parts from the clips but came, we think; from the forward silencer, because the metal was perforated. The remainder of your memo has been noted with interest. Sr/VA. | ||
