BJ. from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4086 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 4/LG26.6.22. Y4086 Y4400 7-Goshawk-11. Referring to your BJ4/H26.6.22. It will be very difficult for an Amateur Driver to know where to locate all the lubricators on the car. It will also be very difficult for us to describe, without picture drawings, exactly where they are, but once the drivers have been shown the positions, they would always know where to find them. We will write out instructions showing how frequently the parts should be oiled. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
