| X742 RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} 24/KW. 25.4.35. Front Shock Absorber Connections moved out to the ends of the Axle - Bentley. We understand from By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} that he has now completed the details of these schemes. We should like your opinion as to whether this set-up can be arranged without making new front axle dies. If so, can you give us an approximate date as to when it may be on test?
