Re: Chassis B-130-AH - Demonstrator.

We attach hereto copy of memo we have received from Paris reference Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/VA4/ET.12.7.34, relating to oil leaks from the rear axle, allowing oil to get on to the brake liners, and we shall be pleased if Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} will let us know whether they have had any similar experience during the 10,000 miles test in France, and also if E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} considers it desirable to modify the parts in question.
