Dear Mr. Wilks, We have memories of your telling us that you were very dissatisfied with Hardy Spicer Propeller Shafts. We have run several of these on our cars, and have no complaints so far about their reliability. Will you let us know whether, if you were able to balance these shafts in your own Works, you would still have any complaints left, and if so, of what nature? Yours sincerely, | ||
