Will you please prepare one set of parts for front axle control to be fitted to this car.

This will necessitate a new type front axle.

We shall require .720 lead worm and nut to be fitted in the modified column of this car which the D.O. should have already instructed.

The rear axle ratio of this car will be 17/52.

We should be glad therefore if you would make arrangements to fit these gears.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}
