Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Ex.De. (struck out) Phantom III Rear Axle. Referring to E.2/HP.2.10.35, I note it says in the second paragraph '....it is strange that the taper is one in four instead of our standard, one in six.' I should be glad of information as to how this came about, i.e. why our standard was departed from in this instance. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
