Waller - Head of Chateauroux}/IO/JAB.24.8.37. 600a 26.G.VI. - 25/30 HP. Carburettor. The old trouble of the choke sticking due to the nip of the clamp bolt on the pipe from the air silencer is most accentuated on this job. Only a very slight amount of nip is sufficient to make the choke stick altogether. The front end of the air silencer has come loose in the usual way and rattles. ------------- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} Frank. Waller. | ||
