G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} V.{VIENNA} This car resumed running this afternoon. The steering although considerably improved, has still got occilations of the wheel. There is not the continual joggle. The carburation is good with the old carburetter. I am going up to Paris Friday morning to go over the new PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I III with Sr. and shall take 22.G.V. so that he can try it. We shall also be in a position to get the oil consumption, as it will have had time to get run in. ----------- G.W.H. | ||
