| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} +8600 R2/M10.12.25. RE. PHANTOM IN FRANCE. X. 8940a. X. 8600 It would seem that in any freshly designed wheel carriers, it would be better to avoid tapping the bolt into the wheel carrier. Apparently a bolt with the handle at the back would be less liable to break. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
