| - 3 - (14) Colour of Instruments. These seem to vary in colour, as demonstrated recently to Mr. Mattinson and Mr. Walker. (15) Wiring. Feed to small distribution box under instrument board to be taken from the main fuse in main distribution box (as discussed with EFC.) (16) Over-Priming. Cylinder lubrication. The possible trouble of the above which we experienced with Phantoms last winter still holds good with the S-S cars, and some scheme of extra lubrication to the cylinders when starting up, on which you recently reported, should be adopted as standard as quickly as ever possible. We are anxious to avoid a repetition of the seizing engine trouble which we had last winter, if at all possible. [Handwritten initials EB] EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
