EP {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 1/H17.6.25.

re. 44-PK.

CWB. points out the following in regard to the above car:-

Steering - very good, free and not bad for "joggles" etc.

Engine. - Inclined to be rough, builds up maximum 27 m.p.h. then improves.

Clutch - too slow stopping, never stops unless engine well throttled down (when hot) then about 10 seconds.

Noisy Carburetter inlet - worse with louvred bonnet.

Tappets noisy.
