Huckerby}10.9.37., we would inform you that we received the fan from Chateauroux in a damaged condition, i.e. one of the blades badly bent. We advised Chateauroux depot of this, and were given to understand that, although the fan certainly suffered during transport from Chateauroux to Paris, it had also been damaged before, at Chateauroux. We think that the Experimental Department will be able to [handwritten insert: further] give you more information on the matter but, if we can be of any assistance, please let us know. Sr/Go.
