| To. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} c.c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} 200a CHATEAUROUX. 2/26.I.38. 6.B.IV. - BENTLEY. Exhaust System. We note that there is a corrugated metal joint washer on either side of the spherical joint between the exhaust manifold and downtake pipe. We believe this is a special feature on test. Will you please send out some spare corrugated washers of this type for use should the existing washers be damaged at anytime when dismantling the exhaust system. ----------- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M.
