| X9770 S/W. to Hives. CWB/DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}4-9-1924. re 48-PK (Cabriolet) Your HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG3.9.24 received. I am sorry you have not available one of the large diameter steering wheels. On the 3rd inst. I had a further talk with the driver of this Car (Henning) during its recent run in France: he informs me that the glass window of the near side door is jammed and cannot be moved. This was not working very well previously. Would you please arrange to have it put in working order now. The steering column has also a considerable slackness axially: would you please take this up. Would you also obtain and fit a Folberth or other Vacuum or electrical windscreen wiper: and a Pyrene or Firefoam fire extinguisher. CWB. CWB. 4.9.24. | ||
