N.W. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} re Steering Wobbles. 16.1.14. Re Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}21/T13114. My memo Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}3/DW301213 was sent in order to contradict the statements I made re above when talking to yourself, Mr Platford, & Mr Haldenby when last I saw you at the Works. As my memo states it is very much improved and does not build up. The fact that we have heard nothing from Mr Nevinson I think proves this. I am very glad to know there is a simple remedy to such an unpleasant feature of the car. Should we have a wobble where the car is not overcome by correcting the lean of pivots, I will let you know.
