R.R. 493A (50m) (D.B. 175 25-9-24) J.H.D.

EXPERIMENTAL REPORT. -4- Expl. No. REF:HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 5/LG11.3.25.

(12) Complaints of clutch slipping.

It is recommend-ed {J. L. Edwards} that we increase the spring pressure by 10% which will give us relatively the same spring pressure as we use on the 20 HP.

(13) Oil leak from generator drive.

E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} has supplied us with modifications.

-----------------------

We are preparing another car for 10,000 miles.

This will be 93-NK.

We expect this car will be ready in 10 to 14 days and it will be fitted with all the latest agreed modifications.

Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
