H4/FB8415. Re William Whiteley. 2015E. Contd. We feel that you will not wish the car left with a forward livot lean, but unless you can suggest anything new as a cure, we do not know how we can deal with the matter without making the car worse than it is at present. We note in a memo and report of yours Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}25/T11215 re 2015E, ( which memo having been accidentally to Bombay had only reached us to-day) that you refer to a to a special Hseries type side steering tube with its stronger springs is what we should have to cure these bad cases. Will you kindly let us hear from you soon. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} | ||
