Will you please have made and fitted to chassis GAE20, 18.G.IV, 19.G.IV and 20.G.IV, geared starter motors of the latest type as it is impossible to start a large bore engine with the existing motor under very cold conditions. Parts off the old motors could be utilised whereever possible. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
