| 86115 W/S - Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}6/KW.1.7.35. Re Klaxon Wipers. With reference to your memo, Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}8/MK.24.6.35, unfortunately we have not any defective wipers to let you have. To the writer's knowledge, in all cases where trouble has been experienced the defective wiper has been put right and re-fitted. Our main cause for complaint has been excessive noise. We have had two cases where the pins have sheared in the main driving spindle. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} | ||
