| W/S - C. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}: X5360 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}6/KW.22.2.34. Re. 20-G-IV. C.5/C.20.2.34. We do not know why any modification we carried out to the brake system of this car should cause judders. We should, however, like to have an opportunity of trying the car. If you would therefore let us know one morning next week when the Car will be at Cricklewood, the Writer would like to come up and try it. With regard to the air valve in the carburetter, as this is no longer piloted on the large diameter it should never need cleaning and should not be able to stick. Perhaps you will let us know therefore whether without any attention this continues to function satisfactorily. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Grylls. | ||
