Below we give you an extract of an Inspection Report from St. {Capt. P. R. Strong} which we are asked by Sales Dept. to bring to your notice:- "The owner had two criticisms to make. The magneto, he thought, might be placed a little further forward, as the make and break is certainly in a difficult position to get at. The other criticism was that he thought that the tap of the petrol tank was too easily removed and too tempting to those who are sufficiently evil minded to pour water into the tank." EP {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} /Thn. | ||
