With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/KW.17.9.35, the position is that the three stud type of stub axle cannot be fitted on 'A' and 'B' series chassis without fitting new front axles, brake drums, pivot pins, etc. The Repair Department have already despatched four sets of the two stud type stub axles to Paris, and further sets will be sent immediately they are available.
