| x264a W/LH{Mr Haworth} - G.W. Hancock. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/KW.3.4.36. We find difficulty in getting sufficient information out of your reports to enable us to investigate the troubles. Report on 22-G-V - 28/29.3.36. Electrical Horns failing in fog. We want some more information on that point. Water Loss 3 pints with full Header Tank. Does this really mean a full Header Tank or the standard level ? The chief point we want you to bear in mind is that in the case of the large bore Bentley, a number of cars have been delivered to Coachbuilders; and in the case of the 25 HP., these cars are now on test and will soon be sent away. We therefore want a note from you pointing out which of the criticisms are serious. Bentley Report for 31.3.36 & 1.4.36. Steering too heavy for cornering in traffic. What do you suggest we do about this ? Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
