| To H.F. Hamilton, Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, FRANCE. K300a Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/KW.22.6.36. 84 32-EX. Referring to your daily report of the 18th June, in which you say that the petrol boils in the carburetter, we should like to know when and how this occurs. Does it occur after the car has been standing and prevent starting up, or does it bring the car to a standstill under ordinary road conditions. You should bear in mind that the object of these reports is to tell us whether the car is satisfactory or not. If the petrol boils in the carburetter and the driver does not know it, it is not necessary to worry about it. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
