| -2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/KW. 8.4.35. The steering was in excellent condition. The rear road springs were completely rusted up but did not seem to be any the worse for this. Do you find those wearing pads actually give you a softer ride than fully lubricated springs without them ? I should be much obliged if you would give me the information on the gearbox when you have a moment to spare. Hope you and your family are prospering. As a Company we are gorged with prosperity and until the sales fall off our progress will of necessity be severely handicapped. One bright feature is that the reduction of the horse-power tax is bringing some American cars over here, which is causing some of our people to think a little. Yours sincerely, | ||
