CA4/DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}8615. 8th June, 1915. With reference to our memo to you, CA10/DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1615, regarding Chassis 2020E and 2015E, we have heard further from N. in reference to 2015E, and we attach copy of their memo, for your perusal. Our files show that the car was at N. in July 1913 for curing the steering wobbles, and no charge was made to customer for this work, (the amount being charged to Policy 13/-). N. reported that the wobbles were due to side play in the spring shackles. No further attention has been given to the matter by us until the present job.
