| To RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Cricklewood Nov 10th 36 I am enclosing draft report on the position of modifications. Will you please have the necessary copies typed and sent out. I have been at Kingsbury all day on Gratzer Park Car. The test on the road did not show up all the faults complained of. He is justified in the poor slow running, jumping, and noise from exhaust. (baffle loose in rear silencer) I will let you have full report when the car is finished. 30H Enclosed another letter re Les Jaillet after 2000 miles. There must be some alteration in the moulding or material for these new rotors giving so much trouble. Mr. Brock might be able to enlighten us G.H.Hancock | ||
