X8430 During our visit to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence, R.{Sir Henry Royce} mentioned that he felt the manufacture of the steering worms would be simplified if the largest possible grinding wheel were used that the design of the thread permitted. We were unable to state definitely whether the machine at present used did allow a grinding wheel to be used whose size was only limited by the design of the worm, but he suggested that the matter should be considered.
