| R.R. 292. (S) (S.H. 326. 3-1-21). Bm. 2/6/15. X4117 X3745 RECEIVED 30 MAY 1921 H1/TB/30.5.21. S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Re - John P. Baron. Chassis 21-RE. I attach copy of a letter from this owner written on receipt of a previous letter of mine, of which I also attach a copy. Mr. Baron's letter contains suggestions which presumably should come before you, and you may care to try the gaiters manufactured with a wider tongue and in other ways made more oil-tight. Our experience at Conduit St.{Capt. P. R. Strong}, as you will note from my letter, is to the effect that grease alone inside gaiters will not cure squeaking at the spring tips of the thick leafed type. H.{Arthur M.
