| BYM. c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4228 EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}14/H2.1.24. re. 20-HP Chassis. Rattle from Petrol Pipe Autovac to Carburetter. This feature is complained of by several customers owing to 'rattles' taking place on the engine. I shall be glad if you can arrange for the fixing of this pipe to be re-considered so that there is more clearance or the pipe is supported more firmly. I shall be glad to demonstrate this to you or one of your assistants by actual demonstration with the cars on test. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
