| (4268) To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from CJ. 20 HP Chassis. CJ11/E9/7/25 Referring to Experimental Report Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG7/7/25, 20 HP chassis fitted with stiffer front springs, WEIXE we are rather concerned to see that portions of the steering system broke, especially that the steering lendlum lever broke and that this was the first time it had broken. Has a similar test been run on a 20 HP chassis fitted with springs which up to now have been standard? Was the test equally severe? And did the same breakages occur to parts other than springs?
