| -3- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}22/KW.8.6.36. (8) Rattles from Shock Absorber Connections. Leslie. If the front anchorage bushes wear, we are going to get axle jaggers. If we get axle jaggers customers are going to break their necks. We think the present stateof the front anchorage on all our cars is a definite reflection on the shock absorber section. It should not be left to Hancock to suggest improvements. We want something to put this matter right which we can fit to G-B-IV. (9) Defective Sparking Plugs. West. Are we sure that the sparking plug at present being fitted as standard to the Bentley is the best we can produce for slow running?
