Waller - Head of Chateauroux} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}4/R.7.4.37. 35-EX. With regard to your memo about the petrol pump diaphragms being changed by Paris, are we right in assuming that they did this without first consulting you ? If the diaphragms were changed before you had a chance to see the car, will you try and find out whether there was any complaint of faulty delivery, or whether the complaint was merely a visible leak; if the latter is the case, we should like to know whether Paris considered the leak so bad that it was unwise to continue running the car.
