85 Prague, 21.II.1942. To Dr. Giess. To the letter from the company Mercedes dated 12.I.42. I inform you: According to the driver Jaksch, the car is cut off at the occurrence of an accident and after tilting of the left wheel, about 20 meters on the missing inventory and a stone pavement, thereby locoically the securing screw 2245-218, which holds only the fuse plate of the lower ball pan 2245-111a. After, as we assume, the screw head was cut off, the car slipped on the hexagon of the lower n ball pan further and has also sanded off this, this resulted in such a large hole / soldered by us helpfully/ that the main safety screw 2445-33 has probably fallen out. These parts have been undetectable despite eager search at the site of the accident, easily explained by the sudden jump-out of the spring, which is located between the guide levers. Of course, we replaced the bolt of the fuse plate and did not mention it in the first letter, since it is a normal screw and we did not return the accident because the lower ground ball pan was still screwed in the thread of the hanging arm. It is inexplicable to us that the thread in the rotary bolt is not damaged, despite that we could not find the locking screw, called by Mercedes Haiteschraube. We did not find a fragment and did not claim it either, but since the right front axle was broken before, we assumed material fatigue or breakage.
