| To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}. from GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}5/N.31.3.38. ------------------ With reference to your memo Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/R.29.3.38, I got in touch with Messrs. Park Ward & Co. re Mr Robert's Bentley. Mr Roberts being away. The sticking of the throttle has been dealt with by fitting the latest spring and bracket recently issued for this complaint, BY/CS9/EH.29.11.37. At the same time they requested that the brakes etc. should be adjusted, so a general look round the car has been made. With reference to your remarks re the 25/30 HP. misfires at low speeds. I'm sorry but as so many things were done to Professor Dodd's car, I am not clear as to what you finally did and should be much obliged if you could enlighten me. I have made arrangements to get the car, subject to it being free. GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
