COPY. To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} R4/P. 9.12.13. With reference to blue print F.3726, 7 & 8, I quite agree with these, but referring to the cross steering levers, cannot a little metal be saved around the central boss, that does not enter into the strength of the part we are discussing. Also the tail might be a little thinner- marked 3/8" Kindly get the alterations made and parts tested. R.{Sir Henry Royce} encl. Blue Prints. 3726,7 & 8.
