| X8140 Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}; Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG4. 5. 25. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A.{Mr Adams} C. THROTTLE. Attached is a sketch of a device which we have handed to the Test Dept. for setting their throttle governor. Should more of these be required, the sketch indicates how they are made so that the Tool Room could be instructed. We suggest that it would be a good idea if oil relays were tested on cars shortly before they are passed off test to ascertain that the correct ignition advance is available. If you will let us know when you will have some cars available and when it is convenient, we will send a man across to show you how this can be done.
