| To: Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} From G.W.H. Y5840 Hôtel de France, Châteauroux, Indre. 17/6/29. We have received your letter Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/LG.14/6/29 re side spare wheel carrier. We will look into the question of the carrier and let you have results as soon as possible. We can give you the information that it is not the frame that is whipping, but entirely the non rigid qualities of the tubes and discs. The fault lies chiefly in charging the disc and bolt. Further details later. G.W.H. | ||
