Vickers}7.5.37, in view of the fact that no difficulty has been encountered with the fitting of the one-piece bracket on a production chassis and that the Works wish to make die castings, we propose to instruct them to produce the one-piece bracket in place of the existing bracket which is made of two pieces, and do not think it necessary for us to wait for the usual 10,000 miles road test.
