DATE. 24.6.12 REFERENCE: EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}5/T24612. RE STEERING WOBBLES. To confirm conversation with you the other day to the effect that you will take up this question further with Mr Royce as I do not definitely understand whether it is the fact that to overcome unbalanced tyres I can fit temporary balance weights under the tyre bolts. The matter appears to me to be quite plain in my sheet referred to by Mr Royce. E.P. This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers.
