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."
