Mr Royce was enquiring for particulars of Banjo type axles, pressed in two halves and welded. I have in my office a sample axle which I think it would be better for you to take down for his inspection next time you make a visit to West WitteringHenry Royce's home town. Would you kindly arrange to send along for the axle in question. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
