herewith report on 4.B.IV. We are sorry it has been delayed.

There are items that we cannot report upon fully owing to not seeing the parts dismantled.

Shock Dampers. Condition.

Steering Joints with metal covers.

Gearbox. Slack developed again in third motion shaft.

Engine. Valves etc. Dural rods and pistons.

With regard to the coloured paper, this is the nearest approach to our Bentley paper that we can obtain here.
