| W.M. Mr Wormald R7/B20313. 22 MAY 1913 RECEIVED From F.H.R. Copies sent: Mr. Johnson, Mr. Nadin. New Light Back Axle. I think that it is advisable to press the works so as to enable us to introduce the new light model back axle as soon as possible. I have not a shadow of a doubt as to the strength of it and the only things to be proved are its silence and wearing properties. As I have pointed out before my reason for pressing this forward is that the central box of this is specially adapted to be manufactured as a drop forging, about which Mr. Nadin might at once negotiate with the makers of such drop forgings.
