Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Copy to ........... Sr. is absent Levallois WHA3/ET.29.8.36 Re: CHASSIS B.226.GA - Mr. FAVIER We have fitted the new clutch you sent over for the above car and have now tested the car on the road, results being very satisfactory as regards the clutch jaggers. As to the transmission rattles, we are sorry to say they still exist, and as this owner is so very difficult, the only way now to give him entire satisfaction is, as you suggest, to fit a damper to the propeller shaft. Will you therefore please arrange to send us the necessary parts as soon as possible. WHA. [Signature] | ||
