A new steering column with similar type ratios for the 20 HP. to those on the 40/50 has been standardized. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} is anxious that we should set about producing a number of these columns in order to make sure that we do not run into manufacturing difficulties at the last moment. Will BY/HEB.{H. Biraben} kindly order up 50 columns of the new design, the essential feature of the whole job being the worm and nut, but as and when such worms and nuts become available it is desirable to get them accurately built into columns to get a stock of same, hence the need for the balance of the material.
