| BJ3/H17.3.26 (Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary}) -2- by manipulating his hand throttle, whilst the owners are merely told by the men that the popping is a Rolls-Royce failing and they must put up with it. Even with the hand throttle closed most cars make a certain amount of popping in the exhaust. Perhaps you can clearly place this position clearly before Mr. Royce, to ascertain what he thinks can be done in future. Yours sincerely, (Sgd.) B. Johnson. N. | ||
