We send herewith N. scheme 3316 showing the proposal for lowering the controls on the top of the steering column. As regards the finish of the handles we have shown one method, but it is expected that the final method would be arrived at by trial and error. We notice in previous experiments of this type that there was some difficulty in getting the bakelite moulded around the metal pieces. If this is a real difficulty could we be informed.
