| 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} | ||
