Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 4459 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG18. 8. 25. HIGH SPEED STEERING WOBBLES. We are anxious to make 98-NK into a standard Phantom steering for trial tomorrow morning. This means standard pendulum lever and side steering tube. We have now finished with the torque arm on 5.EX and should like this to be removed and the steering of 5-EX made into that of a standard Silver Ghost. Will you please let us know when you have any of the items mentioned in DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}'s memo. ready for test.
