| 45840 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 21-G-IV. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}4/E27.11.34 I notice in Hancock's reports he keeps saying that the steering seems to be too high geared for this type of car. I cannot understand this because you will remember that according to information given to me the steering is now 15% lower geared than the standard 20/25 and my feeling when I tried it was that it was lower geared, so I cannot understand what makes Hancock keep saying the opposite. Perhaps you can explain. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 12.5-1 | ||
