Marles Type Steering on Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}'s car.

- in x7960
Replying to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E.30.1.35.

The steering on this car is of a lower ratio and we think a better compromise than the one on 21-G-IV. We are having the one on 21-G-IV converted and shall be in a better position to pass an opinion when we have two cars running about with the same steering.
