X5170. To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E . c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner}1/HP.19.4.32. 20-HP. Wheelcase. We suggest that the production of wheelcases should be held up, the reason being that with the heavier valve springs and the low inertia damper we have a tendency to rattles which possibly will mean that we shall have to fit a brake on the dynamo pinion.
