bad road

Brakes not always reliable -
Cooling system absolutely O.K.
Oil " do. do.
Ignition " do. do - except.
that I had last night to replace the 12 K.L.G. - F.12 Plugs. by other clean plugs - as the engine refused to pick up - It is quite O.K. to-day.
I must state that I have very little opportunity of doing anything in the way of testing - for I am out early in the morning with people, & back late in the Garage - & I employ sometimes till 10 or even 12 p.m. for the cleaning & up-keep of the moving parts - filling up etc - I ignore the P.W.'s plant, but if I am left on my own for any length of time I will certainly carry out as many tests as possible in various directions - For the present I am acting more or less as a chauffeur.
I remain Dear Sir's
Yours faithfully
S.H. Lausa
