| x350 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/PJH.8/KW.30.3.36. 33-EX Steering. The above steering which has the experimental rockershaft with plain bearings throughout has proved to be too heavy due to the extra friction of the plain bearings. When this car next comes into the shop will you please remove this rockershaft and rebuild it to standard specification as on 32-EX. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.J.Hardy. | ||
