Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} No5/B10314. We recently obtained delivery of 3 large steering wheels. This was in accordance with a request from Mr Royce, who wishes to test slightly the increased diameter. I believe 2 of these wheels are in the hands of the Experimental Dept., and would like the experiment to be pressed forward. I think Mr Royce suggested in a recent note that the wheels might be tried on a car here. RECEIVED 18 AUG 1914 X/1023 This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
