| Hôtel Sylva Pergolèse PARIS 3, Rue Pergolèse (XVIe) Avenue de la{L. A. Archer} Grande-Armée — Bois de Boulogne Téléph. : Passy 38-12, Passy 25-54 To. H.S. The car has been used for demonstration the whole of the day. A bad squeak developed in the region of the N.S. spare wheel. This was caused by one of the 3/8" bolts in the spare wheel support having sheared off close to the head. I replaced this this morning & Mr. Slater reports that the squeak has now disappeared. The water level in the radiator continually drops below the tubes after any high speeds. No 3, 10, 11, valves have lost .001" clearance. The garage at George V is heated so can give you no further information about cold starting. A.B. Roberts. | ||
