With regard to the leather cover on the brake adjustment of the rear axle, which has been burnt away as a result of the use of the cut-out, we can only suggest charging the replacement to A.T.D. account. We have already put this matter strongly to the Design Department, as we are afraid that the same thing is certain to happen again if the cut-out is used to any extent. Hm{Capt. W.
