| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 78430 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG7.7.27. We have a number of tests we wish to carry out on steering columns. The steerings we wish to test are the old type 40/50 1125 lead worm and nut, the .940 lead and nut in the small box, and the 720 worm and nut. We should be obliged if you could obtain 3 complete steerings for us. The tests will not damage them as they are only tests for efficiency. This matter is urgent.
