| X5840 Hotel de France. Chateauroux. Indre. France. June 4th, 1925. 6.30 p.m. To: "HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" From: G.W.Hancock. We are still working on 93 EX. and have not found any other serious defects. Messrs. Lytton & Frost have not yet arrived. Re chassis 9 J.III. leakage of oil from the gearbox is so bad that at the first opportunity we shall dismantle same to try and cure the leak. From examination the oil appears to be coming not from the drive but from the flanges holding the countershaft at both ends of box. We received your wire reading :- "Agree to brakes being overhauled in Paris - Hives." We shall also have the O.S.R. spring changed. G.W.Hancock. | ||
