| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to CJ. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X.4256. Dal/M25.5.22. RE GOSHAWK 11. REAR AXLE. X.4256. We send herewith N.sch.1283 shewing two proposals for fitting a pad to the lower part of the axle centre box, to receive the tie rod. Mr. Royce does not mind which one is chosen and would like you to do the one that is easiest. We should like to know what method was adopted in the case of the old 40/50 back axles with the aluminium centre box and a tie rod. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
