| G.W.Hancock. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} Hotel de France Chateauroux, Indre, France. X7941. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.9/MA. 8.7.32. SIDE SPARE WHEEL CARRIERS. With reference to the failure of the internal stiffener to frame bolts on 19-EX, we have decided to increase the diameter of the bolts from .312" to .375". We are sending you the 4 new .325" diam bolts, which we should like you to fit if it is possible. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} would like to examine the broken bolts to see if their failure is caused from the stiffener bending on the corner. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A.
