| 1113 To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Cricklewood, Oct. 31st, 1936. I am delaying coming to Derby until Tuesday as I want to collect some detailed data from Kingsbury. Mr. Clark has promised to have it ready by Monday. I think it will be a valuable help on the complaint job. 35-EX. The men were busy yesterday fitting the new petrol pump and the modified tappet adjusting screws. It has resumed running this morning. The failure of the pump took place when the car was on its way to carry out the cold test. We shall arrange for that test to be done at the earliest moment.
