| X3587 To HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. BJ. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} RL/M18.6.26. 2 20 HP. STARTER ON CAR AT WW. X.5620. X.5650. X7650 X7630. The starter on the above car made a distressing noise when used recently. If this is not the standard starter I should like it changed as soon as possible. If it is of the standard type then something should be done to find out the reason for the trouble. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
