Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} absent) Thn3/H31.8.25. re. Locking Device for Straight Sided Rims. With further reference to our EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}1/H24.8.25. and your reply BY8/H26.8.25. We have again discussed this matter with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} who is emphatic that this locking device is essential, and that the car is incomplete without it. It would appear from your memo that early delivery of flanges fitted with locking devices is anticipated, and we shall shortly be in a position to deliver chassis from the Works with these. We certainly strongly recommend that as soon as possible the question of supplying flanges with locking devices for cars in customers' hands should have consideration. Thn. | ||
