Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/R.1.11.37.

Fedden's car, I understand, was in the Repair Department last May for general decarbonization, also, 6 new pistons and 6 new bearings were fitted and the brakes adjusted. Under the circumstances, therefore, it would not appear advisable to suggest an overhaul.
