CHATEAUROUX. II/10.2.38.

Gearbox.

Thank you for your memo. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}3/R.8.2.38.

We have re-made the various paper joints when the Gearbox was out for fitting the new clutch plate, but have not cured all the leaks.

We will get all possible data regarding them as soon as running is resumed, and let you know what we find.
