| X 3592 Extract from GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}3/FP{F. Potts}4.5.26. Report on Chassis 10-GIII after 10,027 Miles. Starter Motor. X. 3592. As previously reported, this has been erratic in action throughout the test. This has been dismantled and examined to obtain the cause of the failure. We are of opinion that too free a fit of the various parts of the Bendix drive is the cause of it binding and not engaging. MADE AT CROXLEY | ||
