| -3- We should go over the system and see that everything is working properly, we may then find that to get the necessary efficiency we can, with advantage, use 40° or 35° cams on the servo. With the new servo lining, it is, of course, necessary to take particular care there is no oil on the fabric. SILENT TAPPETS. These are quite a new feature, and we want to know whether or not they are satisfactory. --- The car is going to Brooklands on Wednesday next to demonstrate how far we have got with the model. We cannot do much in this time except to ensure that the shock absorbers are working properly, the air silencer is effective, and that there is a cut-out fitted. Will you please arrange this.
