| c. to Mr. Clark. COPY To - Mr. - Ormerod - from BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} August 19th. 1918. BY9/P19818. X. 3357 CHASSIS - RE STEERING PIVOT. I am sending you herewith copies of R5/G30718. The blueprint in question LeC.982, I believe you have a copy of, if not, there is one available in my office, or with Miss Beeton. This matter should be treated as very urgent Will you therefore get out drawings of the new pivot and issue instructions to Mr. Hives. Will you kindly note that Mr. Royce instructs that we should produce two of the new pivots, which are to be sent as quickly as possible and fitted to the Duke of Westminster's car, and that, in addition to this, instructions should be issued to the works and Mr. Platford, that all future pivots must be made to the new drawings. It will be necessary to give the strengthened pivot a new number, in order to prevent confusion. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
