| 48350 MHC. BY/SS.{S. Smith} BY/TWD.{T. W. D???Aeith} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY5/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 19.8.26. E.A.C. REAR AXLE. TO N.SCHEMES 2140, 2149 & 2150. ---------------------------------------------------- Will you kindly note that the detail work issued experimentally on the above schemes is going to be replaced by a new scheme which has just come to hand. It would be waste of time and energy, in my opinion, to produce the two schemes, and therefore I am hereby cancelling instructions to produce a number of parts to N.Schemes 2140, 2149 & 2150, quoted above, which will be replaced by a completely new set of details based on N.Schemes 2232 and 2234. Will BY/TWD{T. W. D???Aeith} kindly send a sheet through enumerating all the sheets he has issued in connection with the original axle design, instructing MHC. to stop work on all the parts concerned. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
