RE. WATER BOILING TROUBLES.

We have heard from our man Hancock to say that he arrived at Geneva on Tuesday morning and had not been able to carry out any tests because the weather was so cold that they could not demonstrate to him the boiling troubles. He had, however, been fully occupied in do other jobs which were complained of on the cars.

He took with him the necessary parts so that he could fit shutters to the bonnet of the 20 HP. car, if necessary.

We should like, however, to impress upon you that we do not expect Hancock to overcome the boiling troubles. The purpose of his visit is to bring back complete information with regard to the conditions.
