| To CWB. from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X4118 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 2/LG23.12.27. X540 With reference to CWB14/GM3.10.27. We have a set of these stiffer springs which might be fitted to Herr Otto Schindler's car, but the results we have had with them on the 20 HP. do not lead us to consider that they give very comfortable riding in the rear seats. They do however definitely make the car more controllable from the drivers point of view. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
