Chassis fitted with 4-wheel Brakes 4-speed Gear Box. We have now received completed Standardisation Sheet for the above. We think we should bring forward at this juncture the fact that the 20-HP chassis being despatched from the Works still have the low speed steering wobble trouble. It is important that we should have some settlement as to whether complete cars of this type are to be released for delivery to owners in their present condition or whether delivery of complete cars to owners is being held up until it is possible to incorporate some modification to overcome this trouble. No doubt you will report on the position to the Administration so that the Administration can issue instructions on this matter. EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thn. Reference EP{G.
