'DELIVERY OF 'INDIA(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes)'. X5420

We shall be seeing Mr. Royce tomorrow Friday,
when some decision will be made as regards 'India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes)'.
The point which is causing us the most anxiety
is the twisting of the front axle. This, as you will
realise, is a very serious fault.
