| -2- Ha/Wst.2/JH. 28.7.36. We should be glad therefore, if instructions could be given for a scheme to be issued as soon as possible, modifying the front wheel caps on all our cars as suggested above. It is not necessary to fit these earthing devices to the rear wheels, due to the extra parallel earthing provided by the driving mechanisms. The matter is urgent as customers are complaining and on some cars we shall have to fit these earthing devices to cure the trouble. Ha/Wst. N | ||
