' ?5 ebout motor car drivers•
0 . TVie car has a sleeve valve engine, but Steele and 1
can deal v/lth that part of her and there Is no real necessity
for the driver to know about the sleeve valve mechanism, which
is all closed in and not touched ordinarily.
My essential recuircment is that the criver should
be a reliable man vho will keep the car in good running order,
clean her (it would be well to m&ke clear that he will not have
a cleaner) and adjust (vhen necessary) such ordinary parts as
brakes, clean oil filters and so on, vlthout me or m> '-ife
having to stand over him, which is the case v.ith that Persian.
He reduced the car which you h^d to a very bad concition and
is now dojng the seme *lth the Daimler - I simply cannot mtke
