oy. xxx 2424. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Lts.2/WH. Mr. M.Olley, 24th. January 1938. Messrs. Vauxhall Motors Ltd., Luton, BEDS. Dear Mr.Olley, Thank you for the information concerning spring covers. I note you say that 1938 model Vauxhall covers are the best type. As I understand that you would prefer to supply these to us direct rather than through our local Vauxhall agent, can you send us a pair ? We are also rather amused to hear from Silentblocs that Vauxhalls are using their rubber bushes for all rear road springs. You led me to believe that threaded shackles were necessary in order to overcome sideway shake. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} is rather curious. Yours sincerely, | ||
