| -2- Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/MI.2.3.32. Contd. Another feature we ought to have on any car which is running 10,000 miles is the adjustable shock dampers. The danger is in waiting for these things you wait indefinitely. We are proposing next week to take several cars to Brooklands. These will be 27-EX. on which we hope to make tests on S.U. and standard carburetter in order to get some definite increase as regards the gain we are obtaining in performance, by a more efficient carburetter - from this we can anticipate the results from the new R.R. Mr. Fairey's car, and the new London Trials car, also the car which the synchro-mesh box will be available. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
