| S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y4565 Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}13/H/25.3.27. Re: Balloon Tyres - 20 HP. Thanks for Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG22.3.27. In order that I might be quite clear, I should be glad if you would let me know whether it means that your remarks apply to all 20 HP. Chassis with FWB's or only to Chassis prior to a certain number, or Series. I am asking this, because I thought the latest Chassis had friction either in the pivots or the cross steering tube. For instance, is what you refer to, necessary on the latest Chassis coming through with the lower gear worms? JGB. | ||
