There is an alteration in the cross section of the wheels on present chassis which, from our point of view makes them uncomfortable to hold. There does not appear to be any authority for the alteration in shape and we understand they are now being supplied by another manufacturer. I consider this point should be standardised, as I feel quite sure we shall receive adverse comments. EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 1388 | ||
