Mr. Lidsey from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} With reference to the water leaks from the radiator. One can only assume that the water is being pitched out of the over-flow pipes. As long as you can make very certain that the water does not boil, you could run one test with the over-flow pipes stopped up, in order to prove definitely that the leakage does take place there. We should also like to know under what conditions the water gets away. Is it when the brakes are applied? Is the steering worse now than when we went to LeCanadel and back? With reference to the high speed wobbles, - at what speed do they come on? Is it possible to get beyond them by going faster? We certainly recommend that you balance the front wheels. We should like to know whether there are any oil leaks on that engine from the flywheel casing. This contd :- | ||
