| Ref. N8/B6212. Re New Axle Test Rig. TBB6/L19212. Mr Whitehead 19/2/12. Will you kindly note that Mr Royce thinks that we might perhaps with advantage employ a worm wheel axle at one end of the rig, instead of a bevel axle as at present. We should then be entirely free from gear noises which may be created from the second axle at the present time. [Handwritten on left margin]: 251/X | ||
