Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} CWB Whr.{Mr Wheeler} X4013 PN{Mr Northey}2/MM.11.10.26. re 20-HP - Paris Trials Car GPK-15 I was disappointed when running this car yesterday to find that no modifications have been fitted to the steering. I understand that these were asked for about a fortnight since. It is a pity that what is otherwise quite an attractive car should have its performance greatly handicapped specially on French roads, by the steering being so extremely sensitive to road shocks. If possible this car should have fitted the .72 steering worm as well as the modified pivots. PN.{Mr Northey} | ||
