| DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R. {Sir Henry Royce} BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to BJ. Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Ss. {S. Smith} E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X7410 R3/M23.1.29. CARS - SPRING (ROAD) LUBRICATION. X.7410 X.3806 X.5410 Mr. Day gives us a suggestion for carrying the centralised oiling from the shackle pin in between the plates. I think this is an excellent idea and should be patented if possible at once. Mr. Day will say what names should be included in the patent - i.e. if anyone has helped him. Figs. 3 and 4 seem the best, and it would be commercially a good policy to do it thoroughly. R. {Sir Henry Royce} D.H. | ||
