Ignition. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E15.12.33 Referring to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}12/E13.12.33 I have just had a telephone message from Crawford to say that the make and break arm has seized up on its fibre bush in exactly the same way on the open car, B.I.AE. It looks as if immediate steps ought to be taken to alter the bush on the 15 and all production chassis. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
