| To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}, from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} April HISPANO CAR. We are sending to you one of the Hispano Pivots so that you can see the condition. Whilst the car has been in our hands we have had no trouble with the pivots and have always found them well oiled and free from water and dirt. The method of taking the pivots apart is as you suggest. After the top cap has been removed it is necessary to knock out the ball race by driving it up from underneath.
