| X5950 S/W. To Wer. Copy to Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DR. BFT. CWB. PN{Mr Northey}3/SH.22.12.26. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RECEIVED 23 DEC 1926 20 H.P. Landaulet - GSK-35. This car is now at Derby, having been left there by the driver on its way back from the Scottish Motor Show. The work we require done to this, and carried out as soon as possible, please, is as follows :- Steering control brought up to the latest standard modification, including front hydraulic shock absorbers, and low pressure tyres with well base wheels throughout. There is a thud in the engine which is undesirable for trials work. I leave it to your discretion whether you will deal with this satisfactorily either by work on the existing engine, or by fitting a different unit. PN.{Mr Northey} | ||
