R.{Sir Henry Royce} Na.{Mr Nadin} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} This experiment arose out of our Mr Paterson's report re chassis 2495 - Mrs Holden - in which he stated that when he took off the lower caps to fill them with oil he found they were full of water. After the matter had been referred to Mr Royce he requested some tests to be made in his memo R4/T 31.12.13, and we attach herewith Mr Haldenby's report on same. p.
