| X4118 Hmr. c. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY9/H. 13.11.25. 20 HP. CHASSIS GMK.49. G.D.FLATHER. -------------------------------------- We have just finished a new steering column which can be applied to the above chassis. It has been instructed to the Experimental Dept. but it demands a considerable amount of work, and is therefore not available at the moment. It will also be necessary for us to try out the proposal before agreeing to fit to the customer's car. When Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has produced and tried the scheme, which will not be for another fortnight or three weeks at least, then we will be in a better position to discuss the issue. At the moment, all we can tell the customer is that we are doing our best to find a solution of his trouble. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
