In regard to instrument No. A.677 N.800 14/52 removed from 23-ex after 10,000 mile test, this has been found to give a considerably increased reading in fact nearly as much as 16% increase at 30°C. We do not know the reason for this -- it seems too much to put down to a decrease in the main spring control, so we must enquire of GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} if any alteration has been made to the instrument at any time since we previously tested it and handed it over.
