POINTS TO BE DEALT WITH.
ACTION TAKEN.

26. Petrol Tank (Contd.)
We have a number of cases of corrosion eating through the tank on cars made about 1913 and 1914.

27. The small filter in the petrol tank is partially choked with sediment, and it would appear to be advisable to take it out, wash it by removing it, and turn it upside down every 10,000 miles.
A short description of the operations necessary to carry out this work could be given to advantage, and included in the Instruction Book.
Action Taken: Reply from BY:- This suggestion will be incorporated in the Instruction Book in the next edition.

28. Lucas Dynamo.
This was the second dynamo fitted to the car during the 10,000 miles run. This dynamo has done about 2,000 miles.
There is an appreciable amount of slack in the ball bearing, also the wear on the commutator appears to be excessive for this mileage.
Action Taken: Copy of Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}4/WJ4.1.24. attached marked "E".
Also copy of BY7-P8.1.24 attached, marked "F".

29. Whittle Belts for Dynamo and Fan Drives. (They had to be adjusted after 1600 miles. The Instruction Book says adjust after 2,000.)
Action Taken: Copy of Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}2/NJ15.1.24 attached marked "G".
