Column 5: Remarks. Pre-IndiaIndia type cars only affected. The stiffer springs as used on IndiaIndia chassis are fitted whenever spring trouble arises. Up-to-date they appear to be giving satisfactory service. 57 segments are now standard on Production. We still get a few failures with the latest type dynamos. Improved methods of manufacture, improved clearances, and better hardening. A lubrication scheme is being experimented with. Will Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} let us know what the prospects of completion are. Scheme for allowing flexibility in servo operation has been standardised. | ||
