Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/Ms. [Handwritten annotations: FDR (crossed out), 2096, 400] Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}6/AP.2.12.37. GIRLING BRAKE EXPANDERS. A number of the rear expanders for Bentley III. came in with the plungers wrongly machined. We have now got replacements for them. Will you please collect all the old plungers and return them to New Hudson Ltd., Icknield Street, Birmingham, who will issue a credit note. If the Shop correctly assemble all the expanders with the new plungers, there should be no confusion. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
