| To RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}, x4553a (3) Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/KW. 21.1.35. 5-B-IV Steering. We find that the wrong length of pendulum lever was instructed for 5-B-IV. Therefore instead of fitting the J-III steering to the car when it comes into the shop for preparation for 15,000 miles, will you please fit the correct length of pendulum lever to the existing Peregrine steering. We are sending instructions through in a separate memo. for this lever. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
