| X4261 Wa {Mr Wallis} - Paris from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to C. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 5/LG19.7.22. 7-Goshawk-11. If you have fitted two experimental front springs to 7-Goshawk-11 and also at the same time fitted extra ¼" packing under the buffers which we instructed to be done when the springs were changed - we should like you at the first opportunity to remove this packing as it is now decided to use these latest springs without it. Will C. please let the next drive who is to take charge of the car, know this and see that this job is done before he starts. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
