| WYMN Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}15/T12.1.34. While trying 22-EX for the shock absorber yesterday, I found it rather poor for hesitation after "luffing up". During a run of about 20 miles I should think this happened a dozen times. I could not however reproduce it intentionally. Assuming the trouble was carburation and that the carburetter has all the modifications carried out, it would seem that we have not entirely cleared up this trouble.
