| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY/Cgh{W Clough}11/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 28.9.27. -- -------------------- X4549 RE "DESMO" STEERING JOINT COVERS. --------------------------------- We hand you herewith a set of four [handwritten] "Desmo" steering joint covers which have been submitted to us by the "Desmo" people, which they have produced specially for us, with the modifications which we suggested. In regard to the covers for the cross steering lever ball ends, they point out that owing to the lack of space between the levers and the cross steering tube end, they are not able to make the covers as satisfactory as they would like, but one difficulty is due to the small space available. However, we presume that you will have these covers tested out as soon as possible. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
