We agree that the rear spring anchorage is a bad feature and are getting Design to give it attention. We recommend that you send some of the standard India tyres you have to Sleator for use on his Demonstration cars, because it is improbable that we shall ever use them up. Now that you say the Cushion tyres give greater comfort, we shall try some in a larger Size. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
