TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} ORIGINAL R2/M10.12.25. C. to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} re. PHANTOM IN FRANCE. 48940a 48600 It would seem that in any freshly designed wheel carriers, it would be better to avoid tapping the bolt into the wheel carrier. Apparently a bolt with the handle at the back would be less liable to break. Syp R.{Sir Henry Royce} RECEIVED 11 DEC 1925 | ||
