R.R. 238 (24 B) (VV. 225. 15.12.13) E.P. 5591 ROLLS-ROYCE, LIMITED. INSTRUCTIONS J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Febry 10th 1914. To: Mr. Wormald Order No.: Mr Morris Customer's No.: A.T. Re Steering wobbles X457. In accordance with your memo Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/Mer/L2414F, on Friday last I demonstrated to Mr Haldenby a case of where inclination of the pivots to standard instructions had not cured the low speed steering wobble. The Car in question was No 1381, owned by Mr Hollins, & although the wobble was not very severe, it was quite enough in evidence to satisfy Mr Haldenby that inclination of the pivots had not cured it. Please verify with Mr Haldenby. Signed: Harkness. WH2 This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. [Stamp: RECEIVED FEB 10 1914] | ||
