I send herewith LeC.544 some detail instructions for the repair work incorporating the new form of ball joint shown on LeC.536 and 538. Would you please send blue prints of this sheet, with the enclosed copies of this memo to Mr. Platford and to Capt. Burt in France. Mr. Royce is of the opinion that instructions such as the enclosed should be made into No.2 size tracings and incorporated in a blue print instruction book of similar dimensions to the standard "K" list. I will send shortly some further instructions re lining up the wheels of the car to test for tracking of the front wheels. Oy.
