Run by me to Rippons (Huddersfield) 24.10.33. As discussed with Leslie - springing certainly very good. Can certainly appreciate automatic control and range of hand control. It is quite an improvement and very much required. Suggest standardising immediately, also we might apply if necessary to serious complaints. In meantime further possible improvement may be obtained. Should like to try still more effective damping as car speed increases. Range of hand control for riding and front control now good - but without upsetting this, should like to have more control on back of car swaying. Note. Carburation poor - flat spot pick up. Also starter fails occasionally. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
