Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} from By EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/AT6.1.19. X. 2214.- REAR AXLE TUBE STRENGTHENED UP BY INSERTION OF SLEEVE. Regarding the above experiment which we have on our list as up to Mr. Coverley, will you kindly say if there is the necessity of carrying out revolving tests of these or may we consider the experiment entirely cancelled? We suppose that if the experiment is not cancelled it would be rather an urgent one to carry out. [Handwritten]: E.F.C EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} [Handwritten]: Referring to above it is important as it would enable us to cheaply arrange the strengthening up of axle tubes on report By chassis generally.
