With reference to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/LG4.11.26. to CWB. we should like to point out that although chassis fitted with the reduced .720 lead worm started to leave the Works at the end of May, it was not until the beginning of September that cars began to leave the Works with the stay between the steering column and the dash. We do not know whether you will consider it necessary to correct Item 2. of your memo. EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thn. RECEIVED NOV 16 1926 | ||
