| 6066 Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} From Wst. c. to G/MT. Wst.1/MA.22.10.36. LUCAS WIND HORNS. We received, from the Makers, on 14.10.36, a pair of the above type horns. Presumably, these are the horns, that were removed from either 35-EX, and sent to the Makers for repair and modification, on the 28th or 29th of August. When sending these horns, we asked that they should be repaired, and the terminals modified to the standard screw type. We find, on receiving them, however, that they are fitted with the old type of terminals. The whole is a case similar to that which occurred recently in connection with 36-EX. Will you please have them returned for correction. Wst. | ||
