| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to S. c. to CJ. c. to Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to EY. ORIGINAL SPRING GAITERS. X3745 We have been testing Jeavons Spring Gaiters as an alternative to those supplied by the Wefco Co. These gaiters are similar to the Wefco inasmuch as they have invisible lacing. The chief difference appears to be that the Jeavons have a wick wrapping inside the leather gaiter instead of felt as on the Wefco. We have run these gaiters 7,500 miles, and find they are equally as good as the Wefco. We suggest that they might be used as an alternative to the Wefco. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
