| ORIGINAL. R TO BY, FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M29.8.25. Copy to - OJ. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BALANCE WEIGHTS ON WIRE WHEELS. Y401 / X457 Mr. Royce did not approve of the scheme for holding on balance weights, of which the pieces were brought down by Doud on Monday last. What Mr. Royce prefers is shewn on N. scheme 2048. (herewith.) We are not sure exactly what you propose to do but we have presumed that three of these studs are permanently fitted into the wheel, and by this means it is impossible to balance the unbalanced weight in any position by the suitable adjustments of the weights on the several studs.
