X.3500 - RE DELAGE CAR

We are having to have the wood rear wheels on this car re-built. All the spokes are very loose and the wheels are in a dangerous condition. It will be 5 or 6 days before they are finished.

We are also having to make some extensive patches on the water jacket of the cylinders. Sometime earlier in its life the water jacket has had some pieces broken out and it was very badly repaired. We are having to go over them again because the water leaks away so badly.

EH.
