| X101 BY: FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DAL/M4.3.33. C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} HDY.{William Hardy} PEREGRINE & BENSPORT FRONT AXLE. Herewith is N. scheme 3701. giving the above axle modified to give a pivot inclination of 4º with the vertical, and at the same time we have provided 3 bolts instead of 2 for the bottom cover. This latter is suggested instead of 4 as suiting the job better. We shall now have to modify N. scheme 3690. to give 3 or 4 bolts on the bottom cover, and shall send this in due course.
