| 600. To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}9/JH.28.6.38. Wraith car 25.G.VI. Whilst you have the above car in the fitting shop, will you please dismantle the engine front and examine the crank slipper wheel for being loose on the shaft. There is a rattle in the gears which is not consistent and it may be that the slipper wheel is loose on the shaft and periodically seizes up. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G.
