| E from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} c to EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 1113 Kingsbury, 3rd February, 1937. Bentleys. There come periodically complaints of rattles from the front aprons. The rattle is caused by the front edge at each side of the front apron not being supported under the wings. Most of the Coach Builders pack a piece of felt between the joints, but it does not remain. Would it be possible for EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} to arrange for a permanent fixing at this point to overcome this complaint? Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W.
