| X 1113 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} Kingsbury, 3rd February, 1937. I telegraphed Paris re the spares for 6BIV and they replied they were expecting them to-day. I shall go over to Paris Friday morning, by then the repairs to 35-Ex should be finished. Kingsbury have received the three sets of modified parts for the rear axle pinion bearing. These will be fitted to Cars that they can keep an eye on to ascertain the results. When will it be possible for Kingsbury to receive the latest ignition plugs. The plug question is not serious, but there are Cars coming in with misfires due to Ethyl. Good results are still being maintained with regrinds of Bentley cylinder bores 1600 mpg. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
