As we are not in a position to finalise the top of the Ripplet Steering Column until we have received a satisfactory steering wheel from Messrs. Wilmot-Breeden and have designed a suitable control head it was agreed after discussion with Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev.
