| R.R. 250m.(24) (W.W. 4M. 17-6-14) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2225. NEW AXLES for 10 H.P. CARS - R13/10614. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} for R.{Sir Henry Royce} 3.7.14. Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}6/03714. In reply to your note, we sent you a scheme, but have not done anything since. Repair Dept. think that if anything is done, it should be arranged that the new axles and pivots should be fitted only in the Repair Shops, and as the cars come in, because there is some doubt as to the interchangeability of pieces on these cars.
