| To Sr. (Paris). From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Y 4013 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/MJ.7.8.34. I see that you have been appointed General Manager for France - Congratulations. With regard to the headlamp and wing movement, this is a difficult problem. We have been working on it for some little time, and hope to be able to offer a cure before very long. The easiest way to reduce the trouble on the Standard car is to lower the shock absorber loads.
