| X3700 S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}3/W/21.1.1929. Re: Chassis No. 14.G.4. The 10,000 mile reports make frequent mention of the choking of the petrol filter. I should be glad to know whether you consider this serious, or whether it is due to exceedingly dirty petrol. If the latter, however, we should have thought that the same trouble would have been experienced on the 40/50 HP. We should like to have your views because, as you know, the question of petrol feed on the 20 HP. car has caused a good deal of trouble and is one of the points specially referred to in the long report received from our good friend Mr. Minchin in reference to his new 20 HP.
