"INDIA" FRONT AXLE. -------------------- I am handing you herewith G.L.154 showing how we propose to maintain the large diameter of bearing on the bottom er of the front pivot, and incorporate a should/on same which would enable us to drive out the bush. If you are in agreement with this proposal, we will put it in production right away. You will notice that we have introduced a hole in the vertical torque member coupling the brake lever to the axle, in accordance with your requirements. I would like to suggest that this hole ought to be blocked up to prevent it being filled up with dirt. [Handwritten signature] BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
