Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}H. re Steering Wheels - 20/25. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}12/H17.6.35 We all consider the larger and thinner rim steering wheel supplied for my 20/25 to be a great improvement. We should like to see it adopted as standard as soon as possible. This is something which does not seem to need any testing and I should be glad to know how soon it can be intro-duced. It is not only nicer to drive with but it helps the stiff steering because of increased leverage. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
