To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X7410 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LC5.9.28. CADMIUM PLATED FRONT SPRINGS - 12-EX. X7410 X1360 Will you please strip one of these springs in order that we may see how the plating is standing up. The other spring we wish to keep exactly as it comes off the car in order that we may measure its internal friction before it is greased. This spring should therefore be handed over to W. Bell.
