| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} x8420 Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M13. 8. 26. FRONT AXLE CONTROL. X. 8420 X. 4048. Mr. Royce wished us to tell you that he is interested in the question of a new type of front axle, or front axle con- trol, s uch as for instance the Lancia, or Sizaire, and we expect that we shall shortly be making investigations with a view to a design. In the meanwhile he thinks that there should be no experimental work involving the making of new pieces, to try such a type of axle on the RR. car, until we are able to send you a design.
