To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X 8450 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/LG22.2.27. N.sch.2258. 40/50 SIDE STEERING TUBE. We have tested out N.sch.2258 and consider that it is quite suitable for release on changeover work. We are quite willing that the movement of the ball should be restricted to .250" each side if this is necessary from the point of view of tools, as we think it will be a definite improvement over the present .200".
