| X2066. D/BP. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to CEP. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/MJ.14.11.30. 14.G4. Replying to D/BP/OG7.11.30. We really have no use for this hypoid axle. If you will return it to us, however, we might be able to modernise it so that it could be utilised when the hypoid axle becomes standard.
