Identifier  ExFiles\Box 102\1\  scan0082
Date  9th May 1932
  
(1) Throttles sticking. Fit Vellumoid washer instead of C. and A. {Mr Adams} to prevent pulling up distortion.
(2) Hot spot pipe to have sliding joint connection where the brazed joint has cracked.
(3) Stud has stripped on forward carb, cyl side.
(4) Accelerator pump modifications as per By {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /C32/EH.9.5.32.
(5) Change diffusers supplied by R.Matthews.
(6) Throttle stop fitted.
(7) Slightly stronger throttle closing spring if throttles still fail to shut correctly after they have been made perfectly free.
(8) Alter shaft with flexible couplings connecting the two so that the induction pipe can expand .125 without putting tension on the throttle spindles.
