QUARTERLY COMPLAINTS. In the last return, on the question of the Exhaust System, you will note that we have received a very large number of complaints, and have done so now for some considerable time past. The remark against these items is that the job generally requires further improving, that silencers generally have a short life and that the Expl. Dept. are now investigating. I shall be glad if you will please let me know how this matter is progressing and if we are likely to have a cure in the near future. C. | ||
