| COPY. To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Paris. Aug. 26th. Phantom III Paris Trials Car. We experienced trouble with front brakes pulling to the N.S. Examination of the O.S. front brake showed oil draining down from the joint of the back anchorage plate. This was dismantled and the joint face treated with a joint fluid. I am aware that instructions have been issued to the Test and Works re making this joint, but trust that not many cars have got out without this attention; otherwise it will be a costly job.
