Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/Mer9/B3614. Analysis of parts broken in the Bumping tests. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. 6. 14. R.{Sir Henry Royce} I attach herewith an analysis showing the Na.{Mr Nadin} length of life of a large number of parts that Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} have been broken on the bumping tests. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} I have compiled these lists from particulars contained in the reports that have been issued by Messrs. Hives and Haldenby. I propose, in the course of a day or so, to forward a list grouping together the average lives of the parts to show at a glance which are the weakest parts of the car. p.
