FLY WHEELS. ------------------------- With reference to your enquiry as to the number of fly wheels changed due to damage to the gear rings, we confirm having used a total of 95 fly wheels during the last 12 months. We do not understand Cricklewood's statement that they have only used 17 in 12 months as we have records of having supplied them with 57 fly wheels in this period. About 10 of the total number of cars attended to were within the Guarantee period. Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/SB.{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}S | ||
