| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} C. to HM.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} 20HP. FRONT AXLE CONTROL. ORIGINAL When you were here last you said that there were still cases of people going off the road due to the axle turning over during braking on a lock. Obviously the urgency of this front axle control job on the 20HP. depends upon how serious the trouble is. Could you send through a report on it if you consider it of sufficient importance. One would imagine that the Test and Repair shops have some experience of this defect if it is important. RECEIVED DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M8.11.29.
