| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x300a Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}10/KW.18.8.36. Steering of 35-EX. Will you please adjust the side steering tube springs of the above chassis so that there is no set up load. This involves grinding about 0.040" off the length of each spring so that when all the parts are assembled in the tube and the springs are not compressed, the rear guide projects 0.005 - 7 beyond the alum. jointing washer.
