Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Clapham.10/MH.{M. Huckerby}20.7.38. 1.B.50. We wish to put R.R. shock dampers on the rear of this car. To do this it will be necessary to change the petrol tank for one to F.CD.744, one of which we understand to be available. The tank off 1.B.50 can then be modified for 9.B.V. Will you please arrange for this to be done next time thecar is in the shop. The dampers will be prepared by W.Bell. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Clapham. | ||
