| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X35D Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/PJH.10/KW.17.8.36. 30-EX Steering. The 0.800 lead steering cam with Timken bearings which was to have been fitted to the above steering has proved to be inaccurate on the worm track. As we have not a further cam of this type, will you please fit a standard production cam. In any case this steering is only temporary, as when Wraith wheel movement levers are fitted the cam will have to be changed to 0.700 lead. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.J.Hardy. | ||
