Coverley - Production Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/R.31.3.39. re: Steerings. With reference to LA{L. A. Archer}14/T31.3.39., we consider that there is no danger whatever in despatching steerings to customers which have passed the test of a 70 lb load on the steering wheel from lock to lock, and have subsequently been examined and found to be free from cracks and marks.
