| J.A.Daniell, Esq. -E- 16th. November, 1939. On the Rippletto axle we should like a cost figure for reasonably small quantities such as 20 a week, and larger quantities such as 100 a week. Your suggestion re a thinner axle tube on the "Myth" seems well worth trying. We will give you the necessary details regarding the spring pads and shock absorber brackets in the course of a post or two. We appreciate the price of the samples is likely to be high. Yours sincerely, P.S. We attach a copy of our calculations on the Rippletto axle, when the Myth Salisbury centre is used. Grylls and Hardy will be visiting you today and will clarify the position. | ||
