Message translation: French to English Wednesday 20th While waiting for Henry, who called me from Bielefeld, and Mr. Seltzky, a little note to let you know I arrived safely in Dortmund this morning at 0:45 –– under the rain –– and it continues, just like in Paris, by the way! Yesterday, I saw Erenault and took all the measurements of the AC-140. It's a very nice little machine that we could have in July, by ordering it overnight!!!I liked the Erenault-Pilot, which is a fantastic machine, but unfortunately not for us! It’s beautiful engineering (less than a minute to switch from one axle to another, with a 403 rear!!!). I'm now waiting with impatience to be at Tornhoff's to see the Pantoscope! Send my regards to everyone. Best wishes to all.Sincerely,Signature: G.
