Hancock - Head Chateauroux}9/N.14.2.38. ------------------- Bentley - Sticking of Carburetter Throttles. ------------------------------------------ I regret to say that after all the efforts, work done here, and at Derby, the Depot still remains without any modifications. They cannot get any information or material for the improved return spring and bracket, or the flange joint washer to stop distortion. There has been 15 cases of sticking throttles during January. Will you please see whether anything can be done. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
