Dear Sirs,
Re: Chassis 10.B.5. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
Messrs.Evernden and Draper during their visit to your Works yesterday, mentioned that exhaust fumes were getting into the body via. the luggage boot in 9.B.5.
It was suspected they got in through the blind box, and Mr.Ward agreed to seal this off on 10.B.5. to cure this trouble.
Yours faithfully,
FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
CHIEF ENGINEER - CHASSIS.
