X. 2565 CHASSIS NO.5-RD. F.N. KIDD ESQ. X. 2628 This owner has requested us through N. to alter the springing of the above car, and make it exactly similar to his post-war car, No.95AG. 5RD. is fitted with the this leaf pre-war type of Cantilever springs. 95AG. is fitted with the post-war Cantilever thick leaf springs. He states that the springing of his post-war car is entirely satisfactory. We presume there will be no objection to altering the springs as he requests, and we are therefore, supplying him with thick leaf springs for his pre-war car. Hm {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} | ||
