| -2- (17) Air damper to prevent noise when brakes are released. (18) Improved clutch lubrication. (19) Chromium plating. The parts which are not yet fitted to this car are - Automatic shutter control, because we have not yet received the Sylphan tube from U.S.A. but it has now been agreed to use the American std., which we are expecting to receive in a week or two. As regards the wider brakes. We think this is an important item. We have received the W.W. design but we have not yet received the details from By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} we are expecting these in a few days. On the exhaust heated carburetter we have received some modifications from W.W. which demand new patterns and it will be one or two weeks before we have these parts. We anticipate that this car will start on the test about the end of January. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
