Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}2/W30.10.23.

Chassis No. 12-EM - 10,000 miles test run.

After completing the body etc., the car was taken out for a final test and the following points were noted :-
Poor slow speed running. (Cured by wiping extra air/valve. Probably fine sawdust got in at Coachbuilders).
Bonnet a poor fit - sides buckle.
Paint on radiator tubes blocking the air ways to some extent.
Bevelled edge of petrol gauge makes reading difficult. For instance standing in one position 2 galls. reads 2 1/2.
Car otherwise very good.
