| x3y35 Extract from O {Mr Oldham} /2/G/10.20. X.3014b. Re New Chassis Troubles. X.516. Electrical Outfit on Post-War Cars. X.294. X.3735. I have wondered if the heat in the pan coupled with oil which may be about has anything to do with hardening the drive belt. Also could we notice if after a long run 22-LW charges at a differemt speed than when cold, 22.LW has 1/2" link belt fitted and I think the small links should offer more surface friction. Fifteen miles an hour, anyway, is apparently the best and lowest cutting-in speed that can be obtained with the present outfit. | ||
