Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Wst. c. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} 32-EX. PHANTOM III. Insulated Plug Terminals pulling off wires; We are amazed at West's memo Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Wst.7/JH. 15.7.37, dismissing a real trouble in such a cursory manner. The first para-graph is not true. "B" Bank is fitted with Helsby cable which has given the same trouble as the Johnson & Phillips on "A" Bank to which he refers. The second paragraph is also untrue. GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} has reported that the trouble exists in service, and Bullamore tells us that he has frequently met with the same thing in the Test Department on new chassis. ----------- Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /IMW. {Ivan M.
