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 LES 19.EX. To. H.S. On my arrival at Sev this morning I examined the relief valve in the Shock Damper governor & found this was held open by foreign matter. When I assembled this I ran the car on the jacks but could not get any pressure & after having checked things over I removed the governor from the gear box & stripped it. Under 'E' valve seat which is situated in the centre plug in the bottom of the case I found a piece of the alum casting. On re-assembling & filling with oil the pressure was maintained & corresponded with the readings which I took soon after leaving. Derby. | ||
