| Exptl: Dept. Ha/Rn.{Mr Robinson}6/KW. 17th December, 1934. M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Olley, Esq., c/o The Cadillac Motor Car Co., Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A. Dear Cy, Here is a report on the Cadillac after 6,000 miles running. One of our concerns at the moment is the fling-up in the back seats when going over a hump-backed bridge. Hancock says the Cadillac is not good but I think it is better than our own independently sprung cars. Any information you can give me on this will be much appreciated. We think that the strip bearing little end bushes on the Cadillac are a very unsatisfactory job. We are sending one back to you so that you can see the sort of mess it has got into. Yours sincerely, | ||
