re 25-30 HP. Chassis.
We note the result on 10,000 mile daily test report of using 1/2" diameter ventilation hole in floatchamber lid. {A. J. Lidsey}
We are now anxious to have the result of using a plain petrol line, cutting out the filter as arranged,thereby eliminating the only difference with Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 's car.
