X53D To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}21/KW.23.9.36. 25/30 HP. Steerings. We wish to be able to give to the production dept. a model 25/30 steering gear to demonstrate to them how we require the gears to be set. Will you please obtain a gear from production and dismantle it. The roller should be checked carefully for concentricity. If necessary the model roller which we handed to the shop recently should be fitted. The gear should then be reassembled and adjusted in the standard manner.
