| X141 Re a Chassis for Worm Drive Axle. Mr Spinney Mr Swetnam Mr Bailey 23/2/12. TBBS/L/23212. Mr Hadin writes - "We should build up a chassis with our standard tackle but suitable for a worm axle. Mr Royce does not think there should be any trouble in substituting our standard engine on, say, 204, in place of the marine engine." Will you kindly go into this matter as far as it affects your department and report as to whether this alteration is possible, and also what difficulties there are in connection with such a scheme. | ||
