| COPY FOR FILES. 4006 Sporthotel Herrmann, Davos-Dorf. 20.12.38. To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} 8.B.V. was handed over to Paris on Friday evening last as arranged. We arrived at 7 p.m. and saw D.Allen who agreed to hand over the car to Sr. on Saturday morning. He also undertook to get the new inlet valves fitted (i.e. the ones already run at Chateauroux) in time for Whyman and Steadman. I fitted the English made cartridge to the General oil filter, the mileage of the cartridge removed being 5,364 miles. Apart from the fact that there is no snow and I have got a sore throat, we are having a very good time. The compliments of the Season, Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} | ||
