Bailey - Chief Engineer} /Mtn10/N.29.4.29. Re: Chassis 122-KR - Barclay for Mr Haywood. The revised instructions for the above chassis call for special side steering tube springs equivalent in strength to those that we fitted to 89-KR when tried by Mr Haywood. We have been to the Experimental Dept. to obtain particulars of the springs fitted, but Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} informed us that the springs were purely experimental and Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 's permission should be obtained before we fit similar springs to a chassis for a customer. Will you please let us have your further instructions. BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /Mtn. | ||
