| C O P Y. To Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Copy to Na.{Mr Nadin} Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} 2314 R1/P 25.2.14. C O P Y. With reference to the bracket at the front end of the rear springs of 2704, this fitting seems to be satisfactory, but it would be better if the base were spread further. I am aware that the present proportions are mine, but I think, from the experience we have had with the cars, however, that it would be better to distribute the load over a larger piece of the frame, and also to reinforce the same inside at the bottom. We have no drawing of the piece here, so you must send me your suggestions. F.H.R. x879 | ||
