| contd :- -2- last adjusted the tappets was not 'au courant' with our methods. On the whole they are as good as our own. CARBURETTER. Fitted O/S of engine appears O.K. Air filter fitted. BRAKES. No front wheel brakes fitted. I consider they are needed on such a car. Position of hand brake lever is decidedly poor and ungetatable. Foot brake good, for rear wheels only. INSTRUMENT BOARD. Very well fitted up. BODY. Very quiet and very comfortable and extremely well painted - 'DUCO'. LUGGAGE GRID. Rolls-Royce pattern. SPARE WHEEL CARRIERS. Very clever design and light tubular. Peculiarities. Very practical automatic chassis lubricating device fitted, even ball ends of steering levers lubricated under pressure from dashboard. Left hand steering, 3-speed gearbox with central change gear and side brake lever. Engine similar to our own by carb., exhaust pipes, tappets, water pump etc. - on off side. Steering wheel resembles 'S.G.' model. Ps. | ||
