Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} With reference to your Sn{Mr Sanderson}15/B2713 attached. The question is whether these steering pivots are certain to break. If so, I think we ought to put this particular matter right, and not bother about anything else. We cannot afford to have an accident to the steering of a Rolls-Royce car, although the car may be only a 10 H.P. and may have been made in 1904. C.J.
