With reference to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}4/E.19.3.34. we are informed by the Order Office that Messrs. Bluemells have made the parts for all the steering wheels to be supplied to us up to the end of 'B' series, also that the sample submitted was hand made, and that it will take at least 8 weeks to get the necessary new dies and tools produced, therefore it is suggested that the steering wheel with thinner rim should be introduced on C. series.
