| X4566 Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Whym. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Whym.1/MA.15.1.34. The attached memo Mx. {John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} 15/T.12.1.34., I quite agree with Mx. {John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} that the carburetter was inclined to "HESITATION" after "luffing up". This was due to the fact of the carburetter being a very old one, and not modified to overcome this trouble. It has since been fully modified to present sta-ndard, and we cannot now reproduce the trouble. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /G.H.Whyman. | ||
