Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}32LG22.9.26.

With reference to our conversation this afternoon.

This is to confirm that we should like to try the new axle (C2 series) with 1½" out of centrepoint tyre contact and the pivot with trail equal to the present castor obtained by leaning the pivots back.

We should be obliged if you could look over the simplest method of carrying this out.
