C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. FRONT SPRING PINS. We notice that on N. sch. 3307. the rear anchorage of the front spring which we have called for on N. sch. 3335., the pins appear to be .625" dia. On N. sch. 3329. - the front shackle - we have shewn .5625" dia. pins as now in use on the 25 HP. With a view to reducing the multiplicity of parts we would be glad if you would detail the front and rear anchorages having identical pins all .625" dia.
