| H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} [STAMP] 16 AUG 1926 REC [STAMP] ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M13.8.26. FRONT AXLE CONTROL. [Handwritten] X4048 [Handwritten] X8420 Mr. Royce wished us to tell you that he is interested in the question of a new type of front axle, or front axle control, such as for instance the Lancia, or Sizaire, and we expect that we shall shortly be making investigations with a view to a design. In the meanwhile he thinks that there should be no experimental work involving the making of new pieces, to try such a type of axle on the R-R car, until we are able to to send you a design.
