No. 9940/1 9410 9899 REF. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG26.9.24. OBJECT OF TEST. X4429 TESTER. Tests on Firths 12t Springs and Brakes etc. A.J. Lidsey. CONDITIONS. Road tests in France. SUMMARY OF TEST. We consider something should be done as regards the breakages of Induction Pipes and Extra Oil Pipes. Broken Induction Pipes are becoming a frequent complaint from customers. We suggest their failures may be due to higher engine speeds with low geared axles. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
