| -3- (11) Accelerator Pedal Sluggish. The fitting up of the counter shaft is to receive attention. (12) Wear of tappet rocker adjusting screws. The tests recently carried out on 35-EX, the results of which were satisfactory, can be brought into production, and at Depots, without any alteration to design. (13) Squeak from front suspension. Watch is to be kept on the coiled springs that they are not barrel shaped when fitted. (14) Front brake drums out of truth. This has been taken up with the Works. (15) Oil leak from rolled flange of spring pot. This has been taken up with the Works. (16) Over-oiling while idling. This is caused by oil from the rocker going down the valve stem. It can be cured by stopping the feed to the pad, but wear takes place. We are carrying out tests to regulate the supply by felt pellets. (17) Stromberg Carburetter. The fault has been taken up with the Stromberg representative, also with the Works. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W.
