| (113) Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} BY.18/N.2.9.37. Kindly note GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} has informed me the first of the cars fitted with Fabroil timing gears has come into Kingsbury after a mileage of 10,085. He points out, there was not time to dismantle the front of the engine, so he had the engine warmed up, but there was no sign of whine or rattle from the timing gears. BY.{R.W.
