BY/Cgh{W Clough}19/G1.5.35 ----- I am trying to persuade Mr.Gowan not to have the smaller wheels in view of the fact that these would not help the steering. I thought this was one of the advantages and it was really the only point he had in mind. Please, therefore, do not proceed any further at the moment with this matter. C. | ||
