.4 CARBON AXLE TUBES - WRAITH.

If, as we understand, it is impossible to obtain S/N axle tubes in time for RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}'s requirements, thenwe agree to ordering 25 sets in .4 carbon steel but also 25 sets in S/N. for delivery as soon as possible so that if further experimental testing proves carbon steel to be unsatisfactory the tubes can later be changed to S/N. If it is not necessary to change the tubes the S/N. can be used up on chassis 50 - 75.
