| W/S. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X4117 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/MJ.27.7.32. KAYE DON'S CAR 34-JS.{Mr Johnson's Secretary} With reference to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/D25.7.32. We do not know of anything more that we can do to the steering of this car. We are afraid that we have to agree with him that it is not entirely satisfactory. In the meantime, we are pushing on with our experiments to improve this feature. The self starter appears to have been cured. We are putting the brakes right and attending to the squeaks and rattles. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} will not be here next week as he is on holiday. I shall also be away, but will leave instructions for the work to be carried out. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
