X.4062. , RE NEW TYPE ENGINE FEET FOR 40/50 H.P. CHASSIS. Referring to Mr. Hives' report Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG27.9.20, Mr. Royce would like you to go into the weakness complained of, and suggest in what manner the foot and steering column support should be altered to overcome the defect. Mr. Royce would like you to make sure that deflection is not also taking place somewhere in the "H" section of the bracket which should be weak in torsion.
