| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x4553a Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/KW.10.9.34. Cross Member between Head Lamps. You will remember that we sent these pieces out to Hancock, who could not fit them on his car because the lamp brackets were out side the frame, and could not fit them to the Trials car because it smashed itself up. He brought these bits back last week, and Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} is now worrying us to know what results they give. Could you fit these pieces on 1-B-IV, so that we can say they are on test when he comes to-morrow. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
