| LISTER M (13. 8. 21 999 J.J.) (W001) 2898 .Я.Я FHR5/H161112. W Barrington X5-70 GRAND HOTEL DU CANADEL, Par le Lavandou (VAR), 16th Novr 1912. Mr Johnson, With reference to Mr Spinney's report regarding extra pètrol tank. Mr Spinney's remarks to the effect that cars fitted with ¾ elliptic springs side swing owing to the rapid wear of axle seats and that this necessitates part of the tank being cut away sounds like a prejudiced story. I don't understand it. I think it had better go back to Mr Barrington to see whether there is anything in it we can do. [Signature] | ||
