Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1/R.29.3.38.

Mr. Roberts, Managing Director of Park Wards
complained to me to-day

(1) that the throttles were sticking on his Bentley
(2) that the Park Ward's Trial Car was missing
at low speeds.

I should be glad if you would reverse the
throttle spring on the Bentley to overcome the trouble of
sticking, and treat the 25/30, if necessary, as we did
Professor Dodd's car. We cannot put a high output coil on
this car because the distributor will not stand it.
