| BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /AJL. C. to MX. {John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X 5681 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /AJL.1/MJ.3.5.30. x5681 x5770 x5771 IGNITION TIMING ON HIGH COMPRESSION 20/25.HP. CARS. Further to our Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /AJL.1/MJ.16.4.30., it would now appear advisable that none of this series of cars should leave the Works until the altered leverage on the ignition control is fitted. Will BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} please urge this job; the alteration should be made if possible by changing over a lever fixed by a biting in bolt rather than one of the brazed levers. It is a pity that this job was not attended to earlier; we asked for it in Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /AJL.2/MJ.6.2.30 (three months ago). Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /AJL. | ||
