To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} From G.W.H. R5840. Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, France. 29/11/30 Herewith please find timesheets for week ending 29/11/30. The behaviour of the car during the run here was fairly satisfactory. The steering seems to be the worst feature the wheel joggles on all conditions of roads. The direction is OK. The periods seem to be less pronounced than when we left Derby, and the booming is less pronounced. We are proceeding with the expt. features before starting the mileage. G.W.H. | ||
