Mr. Hancock from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} We notice on your daily report dated 28.4.27 there is a starvation of petrol at high speeds. We should like to know what this is due to - is it due to the filter? It would be very simple for you to make a test with this cut out. CWB. will be coming out to run the car for 2 or 3 days before it returns to England. We will let you know later when he will arrive. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
