If we cannot break anything in this time, it may be advisable for us to increase the height of the bump from 3" to 3 1/2", or even 4". I quite think that we ought to adopt cross steering levers F.4547/8, since they are slightly lighter and considerable stronger than the old piece C.446/7. F.H.R. | ||
