| 1249 To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/ET.30.9.41. 3-B-50 This is a very pleasant motor car and the petrol consumption appears to be remarkably good. It can be driven away from cold on the starter carburetter abd there is no sign of excessive weakness when the starting carburetter cuts out. This is so noticeable that I should like you to make a direct comparison with 9.B.V. There is more fan noise on this car than on 9.B.V. This is enclined to make the engine feel fussy. The servo groans badly on first being used in the morning. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
