To: Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}2/RH.{R. Hollingworth}26.2.41. 866 4.B.50 Car. Re complaint No.2 in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GRY.{Shadwell Grylls}4/DK.31.1.41, this car was loaned to GRY.{Shadwell Grylls} before we had finished tuning it up, after re-building the original engine. Hence the poor slow running and tendency to stop when letting in the clutch. The car is perfectly alright now. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} | ||
