| -3- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}30/KW.16.10.36. (5) Excessive Oil Consumption. Generally this complaint has been due to incorrect fitting of the rockershaft. When this has been corrected, the consumption has been normal. Excessive oil consumption is not considered when 900 M.P.G. is being obtained. (6) Steering Loose in Frame. This appears to be due to the settling down of the box joint to frame. There is no record of a recurrent complaint after re-tightening up. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
