| X.3683 Extract from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG26.5.21. X.3614 - SPRINGFIELD COMPLAINTS ON 40/50 CHASSIS. X.2565 X.3683 - Starter Motor does not turn engine fast enough in cold weather. We consider that this matter is up to Springfield. It has been left in their hands to submit to us electrical equipment which suits their conditions; they they submit a starter motor which will do what they ask and is reliable, we see no reason why it should not be agreed to for cars in U.S.A.
