Cox - Advertising Manager} x5430 filing Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/MJ.31.8.29. 20 HP. STEERING COLUMN --------------------- We suggest that the best way for sales to try the new 30° rake S. type steering column would be to put it on one of their new type cars. We cannot very well fit it on an existing car as it means alteration to the dashboard seating etc., and would hardly give the correct impression. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
