| X4096 39 Hotel De L'ouest Laval 30.4.22. Mr Hives On the 28th after fitting up steering box the car ran 125 1/2 miles 29th 400 miles & today 65, making a total mileage todate of 5905. Yesterday the locking rim of disc wheel came off allowing the cover to partly come off & bursting inner tube. I wired this morning for new top leaf as this has broken in the same place as 5G.II O.S.F. & we are now unable to run. We have had oil pressure failure on the road, but after cleaning out filter & oil pump valve this was made much better, but still varies rather badly. Do you think it wise to send out new front spring complete, also 2 top leaves JR{Mr James Royce} Waldron, | ||
