Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}

c. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} at Chateauroux(French test region).

E.4/HP.14.11.35.

31-EX. Phantom 3.

We are going to have our copy of GWH {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} /3/JAB. framed and hung up in the office.

We are looking into this question of the brake drum hitting the frame, but so far as we can see roughly at the moment we are not getting the designed clearance. In the meantime we should be glad if you would confirm that the rear roll rod is being used.

E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}
