Re Light Axle - X. 138

Mr Nadin
for
Mr Bailey

6-3-13

Mr Barrington reported to Mr Royce
re the above on 24/1/13 as follows :-

"New design of light axle to be fitted
"with gears of ratio 16/49 and 16/52
"(finer pitch) :-

*
"This experiment is waiting for
"the D.O. T.B.B."

The following is Mr Royce's reply
extracted from R8/B26213 :-

"There is some clerical error here I
"think. I think you give the ratio 16/49
"and 16/52. You should not need to wait
"long for the D.O. F.H.R."

p. A. {Mr Adams} Wormald.
