France. 6/1/35 Cadillac We have got this car running but are experiencing a lotof trouble with the quiet tappets. We have had to dismantle them twice owing to them sticking. We have also had to further increase the oil pressure as it dropped to zero running slow after getting it hot. We hope to get it in running order by tomorrow. We have relined the OS rear brake and adjustedthe fronts. We await your instructions for the test from Boulogne. G.W.H. G.W.Hancock | ||
