| Lova 25 RUE GIDE, LEVALLOIS-PERRET. Seine, France. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}/3/JAB. 9th February 1937. To. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 6. B. IV. The rear axle is being fitted up. The offside tube has been lightly skimmed up on the face of the flange to true it up. Fitting the new brake drums brought us up against another snag. To retain the modified driving dogs has meant changing the hubs. This was successfully done without throwing them out of truth. We trust it will be finished to-day. --------- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
