| Hy. {Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les. c. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 646 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les.20/AP.14.6.37 REAR ROAD SPRINGS - WRAITH. Re. Hy. {Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} 21/KW.12.6.37. The first car to go to France will have Woodhead rear springs. Owing to the inaccurate Production of Woodhead springs we still hope that Firth's will make the final springs. A satisfactory 15,000 mile test on Woodhead springs should show Firth's that their present price is quite out of the question. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les. | ||
