| Hôtel Sylva Pergolèse PARIS 5, Rue Pergolèse (XVIe) Avenue de la {L. A. Archer} Grande-Armée — Bois de Boulogne Téléph. : Passy 38-12, Passy 25-54 x7941 18/1/33 19EX To H.S. During the last two days the car has been fully occupied on demonstration runs. Another of the 3/8" bolts in the spare wheel carrier stay on the N.S. sheared off at the head. I obtained another from Sev. & fitted it. The last two mornings the air temp has been 0°C or colder during the night. The car has been left out & started without trouble & pulled off at once without the use of the starter carb. I had the use of the car for a short time today so was able to try the carb without the spring. On this carb the luffing only occurs after the valve has lifted, | ||
