| ORIGINAL TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M29.12.24. 40/50. WHEEL CARRIERS. X3633 Referring to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG221224., and the para. re. the failure of spare wheel carriers, we are not sure whether you refer to a carrier fitted up on the lines of N. scheme 1836., which shews the proposals made from here to overcome previous weaknesses. We presume that the failures have occurred on the older designs, and that N. scheme 1836. has not yet been tested. Would you please confirm? DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
