The one fault which came up on Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}'s car when we fitted the new engine mounting and with which we have so far been able to do very little is the complaint of steering shocks. You are putting the Terraplane axle through for us, but we should also like to have available for fitting to this car the La{L. A. Archer} Salle steering box which we found was particularly good when we tried the car in America. We have provisionally had a look at the job and it seems feasible. Will you please put through the necessary parts. As soon as they are available we will get hold of the car. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
