RE. VISIT TO SALES ON 10TH.INST.

X.4085 - 20 HP. WHEEL CARRIER.

Sales still report that the 20 HP. wheel carrier seems to be weak in its fixing to the frame, and often works loose, and eventually breaks. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} reports similarly with regard to the 40/50 experimental design on test. We propose looking into this fixing and strengthening it, as soon as possible.
