| To B.J. from Hm. {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} C. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C. to EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} C. to Mr. Maddocks. K4261 Hm {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} 16/W19.11.24. 20HP. Springs. Your BJ2/H12.11.24. We are having very few complaints of squeaking springs on the 20HP. GH.70 was very unusual, and we did not find out why different springs consistently squeaked on this car. We are hoping the special leather Covers fitted will overcome the fault. At the same time it has been pointed out to the Experimental Dept. that more adequate gaiters which will permit of oil getting to the ends of the second plate would be an advantage. Hm. {Capt. W.
