| Chassis 297 To Wym {G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} /CL. from FJH. {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} FJH. {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} 13/VS. {J. Vickers} 21.3.44. Vauxhall 10. The following comments on my journey to Coventry yesterday in the above car may interest you:- 1. The brakes are poor and the pedal clearance is occasionally much less than normal suggesting that shoes are sticking. 2. Engine blow by fumes enter the body. 3. On three occasions the throttle stuck open after prolonged running at a steady speed with no variation of the pedal position. 4. 2nd. speed synchro seldom works. FJH. {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} | ||
