X7741a BY c. EFC. EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thn22/H17.8.29. re. 20-HP. Car. GLN-51. Mann Egerton. Norwich. The following is an extract from a report received from our tester in regard to the final test of the above complete car, on which we shall be glad to have your comments:- "I also wish to bring to your notice the heavy ampere discharge caused by various types of cigar lighters. On this car the discharge was 15 amps - with indiscriminate use , plus the total discharge of 4 body lights and 2 instrument board lights, the body lights fuse blows. This now is becoming a common complaint. Mann Egertons have applied to Rolls-Royce to fit an extra fuse, and this has been refused." EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thn. | ||
