We want to know whether the leather joints on the Cross Steering Rod are satisfactory. 16. We want to know why the oil leaks out from the pivots. As regards the above, we believe you have all the necessary parts in order to enable you to supply this information. The following is a further list we need reports upon as soon as ever possible. 1. New type joints to Side Steering Tube - We have to decide what strength of spring is the most suitable. 2. Turning circle of 4-wheel brake car with latest modifications. 3. Report on oil drain guard - to be fitted to the front brakes to prevent oil getting on to them. 4. Report on leathers for vertical pull rod. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
