Only in case the radiator shows definite signs of bad jellying during the complete car final test should action be taken to alter the radiator fixing. As regards the fixing of the "shimmy-shackle", this has not yet been standardised, and unless this is so we take it we cannot use it for production cars. In case we find,however, during our complete car test that the steering gives trouble similar to 60-JS{Mr Johnson's Secretary}, we shall press for the fixing of this feature to be considered. EP.{G.
