| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} From G.W.H. Y5840 Hotel de France, Chateauroux, FRANCE. 12/11/31. Re. Your memo. regarding washleather gloves. We found these tucked in the seat in the back of the car, on our way here. We will save these as requested until the time when we return. We did think that they probably belonged to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} and was going to report in due course. Re. Anti-Freezing Mixture. We will carry out instructions as per memo. when it arrives. Re. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}'s request of the load taken to operate the clutch pedal, the nearest loads we have been able to obtain are - 53 lbs. at the commencement and 66 lbs. at the finish of the pedal stroke. These figures are the nearest we can give you with our apparatus. [Signature] G.W.H. | ||
