| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. W.R. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} re Banjo Axles. E.6/HP.16.5.35. Replying to your memo Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}9/E.26.4.35, I am proposing that we design a banjo back axle for the Wraith chassis on the lines described. I am aware that we already have a back axle to our normal design for this chassis, but I think it is a good scheme to bring along the banjo type as an alternative. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
