| S/W Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C8/C21.1.35 HYDRAULIC JACKS ON CHASSIS NO.GZU-24. With further reference to my C10/C16.1.35, I happened to meet Mr.Nichols, Director of S.Smith & Sons, who mentioned this criticisms we had had of both back wheels being jacked up together and consequently there being no braking, and he writes as per the attached copy of letter. I am afraid we did not try pushing the car off the jacks on a hill. Perhaps you will let me know what you think about this. C. | ||
