| X.3745 S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} H1/TB/30.5.21. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} x2565 x3745 Re. John P. Baron. Chassis 21.FE I attach copy of letter from this owner written on receipt of a previous letter of mine, of which I also attach a copy. Mr. Baron's letter contains suggestions which presumably should come before you and you may care to try the gaiters manufactured with a wider tongue and in other ways made more oil-tight. Our experience at Conduit Street as you will note from my letter, is to the effect that grease alone inside gaiters will not cure squeaking at the spring tips of the thick leafed type. H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} See X.2565 for letters referred to above. | ||
