| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} From G.W.H. Hotel de France. Chateauroux. Indre. 13.8.33. I.B.IV. We have received the new axle tubes to-day. The axle is assembled and the brakes are being rebedded. We hope to have it fitted under the car by noon Monday. PETROL PUMPS We find that the small dia. pipes from the tank cripple the supply. We are fitting the main supply with a larger pipe which we believe will supply all we want. We have tried the Autoflux pump against one S.U. and it delievers 1 pt. in 15 sec. against the S.U. 1 pt. in 30 sec., conditions being the same. 1 Pt. 15. Secs. 1 Gals. 2 Mins 30 Gals / Hr G.W.H. | ||
