| 200a. To HPS. {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /FJH. {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} 19/JH.5.10.37. 6.B.IV Steering. There is an oil leak on the above steering between the box and the flange on the lower end of the outer column tube. A stiffer flange to FCD.94 is at present being detailed. As soon as the detail is available will you please make one of these flanges and fit to 6.B.IV. before the car leaves for 10,000 miles test. We assume that you can remove the existing flange from the tube by turning off. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /FJH. {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} | ||
