| TO B.Y. (struck through) FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Copy to - EAC (struck through) HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL EAC. 7. front axle. Y7420 (handwritten) Herewith we send N. scheme 2094. shewing the arrangement of the pivots, brake gear, hubs, etc. We have provided for both the well-base wheel and the standard wheel, the hubs of which differ slightly. There will be two axle forgings, one allowing for a 58" track, the other for a 57" track, the latter probably being the first made, because it can be fitted to an existing car. We shall send you drawings shewing the axle forging, steering levers, diagram of clearances, etc. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
