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.
