| TO BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}) FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}) Copy to BJ. ORIGINAL STEERING - GENERAL. X7430 X8430 x 5430 With reference to the proposed returning spring on the worm tube, we have suggested to R.{Sir Henry Royce} that he should allow us to rig up temporarily an apparatus from which we could expect to learn something about this spring, and send herewith N. scheme 2394. shewing what we propose. We quite appreciate that it cannot be standardised but we think perhaps you may like to make it experimentally. To give a spring without a set-up in the centre seems to be comparatively easy somewhat as shewn on N. scheme 2313., but when we try to provide set-up, (and this seems to us to be rather necessary) the whole apparatus becomes much more complicated.
