| X417 Expl: Dept: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG. 4th. Nov. 1927. Messrs. Barkers & Co. Ltd., Coachbuilders, Olaf St.{Capt. P. R. Strong}, Shepherds Bush, London W. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Manning. Capt. Kruse's Car. The Works have materially altered the springing of this car. The car is now definitely sprung for fast touring. We are working at a disadvantage because we do not know exactly what Capt. Kruse's complaint is. However, should he not be satisfied with the car as it is at present, we would like him to state exactly what his trouble is and we will then try and arrange on an experimental car to overcome the complaint. If then he would give us an opportunity of meeting him, we could try his own car and our car side by side and we could very probably satisfy him. We do hope however that the modifications which have been made to his car will be what he requires. Yours faithfully, | ||
