| -2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}1/MA.5.9.32. Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} The French test on 19-EX. has proved that the addition of the weight of the one jack in the centre of the front axle has no effect on the steering of the car. There is no intention of standardising these jacks on our cars, but we do get customers who ask that four wheel jacks should be fitted. In these cases we should insist that D.W.S. jacks only should be used. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
