Also a car I looked at in the garage yesterday had bent its cross steering levers and put the wheels out of track. I mention these things to show that the roads out here are bad enough to give a very severe testing of the parts and we must not be unduly alarmed if some- thing does go wrong. On the whole I regard matters as satisfactory excepting details referred to, and I see no reason why manufacture should not proceed. Any slight alterations necessary could easily be made during manufacture. Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} | ||
