Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std. c. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} Handwritten: 624 also 600a 26.G.VI.- 25/30 HP. Fan Belt. The new fan belt sent out did not last half a day, all the adjustment was used to take up the slack after 60 miles running. The further stretch during the day rendered it useless. If we are to carry out the tests you require on the new fan which is coming out, a supply of belts will be required. -------- Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /IMW. {Ivan M.
