Lidsey}5/MA.15.2.32 we have been informed that chassis 75-HC which has malleable iron type manifolds fitted has now covered 5500 kms and is satisfactory. We have received a letter from the owner of chassis 119-MC stating that he has only covered 2300 miles "fairly slow running". We will communicate with you again as soon as we have some more information to offer you. "Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}" | ||
