| RECEIVED 27 JUN 1930 [Handwritten]: x777v To: Ry. c. Repair D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} c. EWA. From: Oy. c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. Berr. Oy2/DM.{D. Munro}26.6.30. Steering Column. Sec.7050. The Instruction Book calls for lifting the ball thrust cover and oiling every 2000 miles. We find that the cover is often stuck down when we come to move it. We should be interested to know whether you find it sticks or whether you have a better sort of rubber ring. Should we not supply a spring-cap lubricator? Oy. | ||
