No.2.

CLUTCH JAGGERS
The new compound cushion plate is regarded as a cure for this.

OVEROILING
When non-hydraulic tappets are introduced at the first chassis in "D" Series this trouble should be eliminated.

STEERING WOBBLES AND JOGGLES
Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} would like a statement from Service Stations of the seriousness of these complaints. A permanent cure for both is to be introduced on "E" Series.

CLONKS IN TRANSMISSION
Will Service Stations please report whether there have been any complaints of clonks on cars fitted with the new gear box stay.

BROKEN DIFFERENTIAL CASING
