| TELEGRAMS, BAILEY'S HOTEL, LONDON. TELEPHONE KENSINGTON 160. OPPOSITE GLOUCESTER ROAD STATION. ON "TUBE," DISTRICT & METROPOLITAN RYS. BAILEY'S HOTEL, LONDON, S.W.7. adjusted correctly but I have not yet had the opportunity of determining if this is an improvement. The throttle control setting on the other cars is normal & do not propose making any alteration in adj. from the present standard practice. The trouble seems due to the throttle not shutting sharply & firmly on releasing the accelerator. | ||
