| G.W. Hancock Esq., Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, France. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}17/KW.1.1.35. We note in one of your memos. you say that 21-G-IV is very rough from 72 to 78 m.p.h. Will you please enlighten us as to whether this is speedometer speed or actual speed. We do not know whether the speedometer which was originally 16% fast has been corrected or not. We are very short of crinkly plate servos and are not sure whether you brought back the one you had as a spare at Chateauroux. If you have one you are not using, will you please send it to us.
