Nov. 8th 1911 X141 This column is for Name of Person addressed. DATE. Re Worm Axle Mr. Spinney 8-11-11 Will you please get out the necessary details for fitting the worm axle to one of our experimental chassis, - 1718 is the one most convenient. O.D. 13.11.11 It is not advisable to attempt to fit the worm axle to an existing car. So many new parts are required in order to get the requisite slope of transmission. R D Spinney.
