| X8450 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. Side Steering Tube. BJ4/E21.12.27 Referring to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LC20.12.27 I think it would be as well if we sent a drawing to R.{Sir Henry Royce} so that he may know the shape of the side steering tube which we are supplying at present. It certainly is an ugly with all its curves and looks rather as though it had had an accident, but I understand that this will only be used on about 60 chassis. I was glad to hear this. BJ. | ||
