To: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/ c/o Rem Swale [crossed out] 600a. [handwritten] Poles [handwritten] SWDL{Len H. Swindell} [handwritten] See me. [handwritten] Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} [handwritten] CHATEAUROUX. 3/.19.3.38. 26.G.VI.- 25/30 HP. A.C. Oil Filter. We are again troubled by leaks from the seam as experienced on the first filter returned to you. This may be due to vibration combined with distortion caused by the tension on the clip holding it to the engine. We have fitted one of the spare filters and will bring the faulty one back when the car returns. ----------- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} Ivanln.
