| RESTAURANT-OCTOBON, LE-CANADEL. PAR-LE-LAVANDOU 'VAR'. FRANCE. MR. HIVES. FROM. DODD. Arrived Le-Canadel OK. Sat-night. I find on fitting change speed shaft, it is .125" out of timing. The key-way wants cutting, so that the speed lever comes .125" more BACKWARDS. at the gate. I should very much like a new fan, the present one being very noisy. Car running exceptionally well. Yours, faithfully J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Dodd [Text written vertically on the left margin]: Slack There in Return keys, released & Nuts that pulled Back lever Required Back could be better Framed | ||
