| P/L. FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WH. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} L. BINGPORT (J.1.) STARTING HANDLE & 7th. & 8th. CROSSMEMBERS. Herewith we send R.{Sir Henry Royce} sch. 3583. shewing the arrangement of the starting handle and the 2 front crossmembers. It will be seen that we are leaving the actual scheme of the 7th. crossmember to B., as we are not sure whether it is necessary for this crossmember to be detachable to enable the engine to be taken down.
