re. Overoiling - 20-HP. Chassis.

We have received a complaint from America with regard to overoiling on a 20-HP. Chassis No. 44-G-3, after 3,500 miles.

We attach herewith for your information a copy of the letter we have received from America on this matter.

After consultation with BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} it was agreed to send a set of 'L' section piston rings for this car.

We do not know of anything further which can be done. Have you any information which you think could be usefully supplied to America in this connection?

EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thn.
