| 13861 3-0 HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 10/3/26 BY7/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 10.3.26. STEERING WHEELS. 40/50 HP. I wish to confirm my conversation of this morning that we have a special steering wheel for which you have the correspondence. The wheel in question is covered with soft rubber, and does not appear to me to be suitable for our use, as it will get slippery in action, and has no grips. If you will kindly send along to my office for thewheel, it will be handed over to whoever comes. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
