| 308 W/N. Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}6/R.22.3.37. P.III CARBURETTERS. We hear there have been six cases of P.III throttles sticking, due to some part of the mechanism between the frame and the engine jamming. We should like Ratcliffe to come down to Cricklewood so that we can get an idea exactly what it is that causes the trouble. If you will give us a ring the next morning when you have one of these complaints Ratcliffe can be at Cricklewood in three hours with a complete new assembly, and we might get an idea what causes the trouble.
