| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X8770 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG27.1.26. 98-NK CAR. Will you please remove the Marles Steering from this car and fit a standard steering in its place. In connection with high speed steering wobbles we are anxious to try the effect of making the spring shackles a very tight fit so that there is actually a certain amount of friction at this point. We should be obliged if you will arrange to treat the shackles on this car in this manner. The accelerator pedal is one of the old type and has a very large travel. Will you please have this altered to the latest standard. The N.S. rear wing stay is broken with the result that the wing rattles badly. Will you please have this welded.
