Bailey - Chief Engineer} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} RE AMERICAN ALTERATIONS. X.4605. Concerning your memo. EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}1/H91023., we had not overlooked alteration No.2716 - Simplified method of locking screwed bush in gearbox - but had been unable to get this through before Mr. Royce went away. We have now obtained Mr. Royce's consent to this alteration, and steps should be taken accordingly at Derby. Regarding the list of proposed alterations by America we will push these forward as soon as we can, but at the moment we are very busy indeed on other most important work.
