| X.4631 BY/C7/K.{Mr Kilner} 9.5.24. CHASSIS ROAD SPRINGS GAITERS. The people who supply us with Wefco Gaiters inform us that they would be prepared to fit these Gaiters with oilskin linings at an additional cost of 2/- per set. If this type of lining would prevent oil from saturating the Gaiters, we think it might be advisable for us to introduce same as standard, but before doing this we suggest that you might have a set to test out with a view to proving whether the oilskin lining is effective or not.
