| contd :- -2- up correctly, the chief cause of friction is the bearings for the throttle. We are proposing to try ball bearings in this position to see what improvement can be made. We have tried the Hispano car and find that the explosions on there are frequent. The Lancia is particularly free from this fault: we are investigating to find the reason.
