| To HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. COPY. X.4063 R7/G8.5.20. X.4063 RE BRAKE BRACKETS ON REAR AXLE TUBES. X.3457. I am expecting you to test whether the brake brackets on the rear axle tubes can be bolted and sweated instead of brazed. This practice would be very useful in the new cars, and are highly desirable when we use back axle tubes which require exact heat treatment. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
