N/W. Les c-D/BP. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} 360. Br/G10/M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} 29.6.37. ---------------------- re, Chassis No. 3-AZ-38. London Trials. ------------------------------------------- The near side rear Shock Damper on this Car has given trouble for some time. There has been a complaint of recurrent knocks and slackness in the Bushes, at approximately every 2000 miles. We had the Car here last week, and took the opportunity to obtain a replacement from Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}, which we fitted. The one off the Car is being returned for your attention, and after repair no doubt you will take it into your stock. Will BP kindly hand the Damper over to Les immediately upon receipt. Br/G | ||
