| S/W HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BF. IMS. 4417 Hr9/GM/16-3-26. Chassis No. 102-HC. Major G.F. Boyle. I attach copy of a note that BJ has just received from PM. BJ has asked me to write to you and ask you what you are doing to overcome this trouble of steering getting stiff after 30 or 40 miles running on the road. BJ asks me to refer you to HM{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} 10/EW/15326 which refers to a similar case on Chassis 22-LC owned by J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Spedan Lewis. We have had several other cases of this complaint. It seems to be serious. Hr. | ||
