Lidsey}5/KT. 31.10.32. re. CAR JACK BY CANTILEVER CONSTRUCTIONS. We do not think the 'Jack in the Box' jack is nearly as good as the type we are proposing to standardise, and we are therefore not interested in it. We saw the exhibit at Olympia and were not at all impressed. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
