| -2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}14/KW.20.8.36. We are sending a steering out for 22-G-V.{VIENNA} We want to avoid paying duty on two steerings, so you might arrange for Sr. to warn the customs authorities that the steering on this chassis has given trouble and that another one is coming out to replace it. The old steering will of course have to be returned. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
