| γ 450 To By/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} 2006 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}1/MH.{M. Huckerby}8.3.38. c. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} B.III STEERING. The above car wanders on uneven roads apparently due to geometry errors in the front suspension. Will you please detail a special ball pin to lower the centre ball joint on the cross steering tubes by 0.500. Two of these should be instructed and are urgently required.
