Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ___ X3436 STEEL CASTINGS USED ON CHASSIS. X3669 X3692 ----------------------------------- Mr Royce has decided that we must cut out all steel castings which are at present being fitted to the chassis. The steel castings in question are:- (a) The outlet on the end of the Swan neck of the Silencer. (b) The steel castings connecting the Swan neck to the Silencer. (c) The steel casting on the intermediate exhaust pipe, on which is built up the cut-out. (d) Engine Feet. Mr Day is working on new designs for these which we will let you have as soon as they are available. Mr Royce considers the matter should be sufficiently urgent for me to write to you at once.
