Column 5: Remarks.
Pre-India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) type cars only affected. The stiffer springs as used on India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) 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.
