Description

The Motorcycle giant’s service director responds to repair criticism stating: “not what one may call a real simple job, it isn’t on the other hand anything extremely difficult”

Service school director for Harley Davidson. TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Harley-Davidson Motor Company letterhead, October 1, 1935. Letter to a Sales and Service Center. In part, “While installing new circuit breaker points or particularly new circuit breaker lever springs is not what one may call a real simple job, it isn’t on the other hand anything extremely difficult…It is true that it is a little more of a job to install a spring now than it was some time back because the spring has been made a little stiffer and longer to increase tension somewhat…I’m going to pass a copy of your criticism along for the attention of the Engineering Department.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, scattered light toning, and rusty paperclip mark to top edge. RRAuction COA.
