| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/LG2. 4. 28. With reference to Rl/M35.3.28. para.4. We should like to know whether there is any objection due to fouls etc. to us fitting the improved geometry to J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} and F.{Mr Friese} series. together with the .750 lead nut. This would give us an overall ratio of about 14¼. Also with M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} series and following can we use the 9.000° steering lever with the 8.25" pendulum lever and so reduce the steering speed?
