| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} x7430 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rnl/LG15.5.29. S.S. SIDE STEERING TUBE SPRINGS. x7450 With reference to BY4/G14.5.29. We are not yet in a position to recommend any departure from the present 1500 lbs/in. side steering tube springs. In any case if we do change it will not be to anything stronger than 2000 lbs/in. You will have noticed from Hancocks reports that we have still some work to do on the S.S. steering.
