| 261. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/R.29.3.38. Mr. Roberts, Managing Director of Park Wards complained to me to-day (1) that the throttles were sticking on his Bentley (2) that the Park Ward's Trial Car was missing at low speeds. I should be glad if you would reverse the throttle spring on the Bentley to overcome the trouble of sticking, and treat the 25/30, if necessary, as we did Professor Dodd's car. We cannot put a high output coil on this car because the distributor will not stand it. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
