The major criticism on 21-G-IV when it was tried by Sales before it went to France was the steering. The only adverse comment that Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} has to make on his car now is the steering. We are therefore anxious to have the La{L. A. Archer} Salle box and column available for 18-G-IV. Will you also please complete the Peregrine type steering for the Bentley, as we wish to do some deflection tests before this is fitted to Bentley 5 chassis.
