With reference to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/AD5831., and HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}1/KT29731., weshould like some more information about the changes that it is proposed to make on the central lubrication system. We should also like further particulars when you obtain them of the failure of the front battery suspension. We believe that the arrangement fitted is not that originally designed at WW., but a modification originated in Derby. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
