| "Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" WORKS. ---------- X4117 Ps7/Crn.24.8.26. Re: Chassis 99 SC - Mr. Soulas. With reference to your memo. HsI/LG. 20.8.26, the spring in question is similar to a 1500 lbs type. I have replaced it, and given the chauffeur two spares. In instances where we fit 1500 lbs. springs, do you not think it would be wise to give one, or perhaps two, side steering tube springs to the driver as spares, in case they break on the road ?
