| 8/1370 To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}11/MJ.14.3.33. 25 HP. We have had 18-G4. on the road fitted with silent second speed, new dampers, axle control, and air silencer to carburetter. The gearbox is quite satisfactory, there were no signs of the second speed working out. Re. the control for the front axle, we have not been able to fit the final scheme because of delay in getting the axle forging. We expect to have the final arrangement on next week. In the meantime tests are being carried out with the car here before sending it to France. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
