| Mr Bailey Mr Nadin. X137 Re New type of Rear Axle of lighter design. 30-12-12 TBB3/L301212 Please note that Mr Johnson remarks that Mr Royce is very anxious that we should obtain forgings of the new centre box of the new back axle and that we shall not use castings. Mr Johnson also advises us that we must get rid of the jaggering brakes, that is to say, we must not construct any chassis with jaggering brakes because jaggering brakes are the cause of fractures. | ||
