| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}1/AP.21.8.37 37-EX. Steering The above chassis has had a good deal of running on the bumper drums with small cams and we think it would be wise to inspect the steering gear before it is used on the road. Will you please inspect the gear, fit a new pendulum lever, rockershaft and roller follower, and at the same time take the opportunity of fitting the American steering cam.
