| To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1/LG2. 4. 28. With reference to Rl/M35.3.28. para.4. We should like to know whether there is any objection due to fouls etc. to us fitting the improved geometry to J. {Mr Johnson W.M.} and F. {Mr Friese} series. together with the .750 lead nut. This would give us an overall ratio of about 14¼. Also with M. {Mr Moon / Mr Moore} series and following can we use the 9.000° steering lever with the 8.25" pendulum lever and so reduce the steering speed?
