| 1021 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HAG.5/ST.{Capt. P. R. Strong} 3rd March, 1941. Messrs. LUCAS Ltd., Great King Street, BIRMINGHAM 19. Attention Mr. Balton. Dear Sirs, We are sending you herewith a further print showing a modified layout of the windscreen wiper. You will notice that the motor has now been moved to the centre of the dash, which will wnable us to keep the angle of the driving shaft in relation to the screen 30°. Also the angle between the motor shaft and the wiper link arms has been improved. We shall be glad to have your comments on this layout as soon as possible. Regarding the sample rubber grommet for the wiper arm spindle which you mentioned in your letter some time ago, we have not received this and we should be obliged if you would post us a sample so that we may see what you suggest as being most suitable for our purpose. Yours sincerely, | ||
