| X235 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} c. to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}/LG27.1.27 RE. LEATHER COVERS FOR REAR HYDRAULIC CONNECTING LINKS. We find that F.75084 top cover of front hydraulic connecting link is quite suitable for the rear top. A new cover is required for the bottom joint and sample F.74907 is O.K. for this. We should like to draw attention to the fact that leather covers for the bottom joint are unsuitable, as previously pointed out they are quickly torn off by stones etc. We agree that leather cover can be used until a suitable metal cover is designed.
