We have heard from Sp.{Mr Spinney} that the rear and mud wing socket of the front wing, which is rivetted to the frame, prevents the coachbuilders fitting the wings owing to the fitting of the cover over the pendulum lever interfering with the wing being slid down into position. This being the case, we took it up with West WitteringHenry Royce's home town who wire us that we should replace the rivetting with bolts, as the only remedy they can suggest. We suggest that we have permission to do this at once. It will cause some little delay, but it will have to be done either here or at coachbuilders. . BY.{R.W.
