To C. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X457 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG22.3.27. BALLOON TYRES - 20 HP. f4565 Further to our Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG19.3.27. We omitted to mention in this note that friction must be fitted either in the pivots or in the cross steering tube on 20 HP. cars which are equipped with balloon tyres. If this is not done there will be serious danger of low speed wobbles. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
