Re Chassis No. 3.AX.41. Major Victor Walker.

Bt.{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} has been running this car, by arrangement with the owner, and has done about 500 miles and he complained that the clutch jaggered badly at times.

We have tried the car and find that it does definitely jagger, particularly when it is very hot.

I have, consequently, arranged for the car to go to N. for one of the latest type plates to be fitted.
