OY. RS{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary} Expl. No. 8685 8980 REF. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG21.4.25. OBJECT OF TEST. Investigations on oil relay governor. TESTER. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham. CONDITIONS. Road test and bench test. SUMMARY OF TEST. The only troubles we have experienced with the oil relay on the road, during 10,000 miles tests have been failures of the cup leather. The leathers which have failed we found to be .100" shorter than the scheme calls for. We have sent out a correct cup leather to the car in France. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} MADE AT CROXLEY | ||
