| X. 7340 R6/M5.3.28. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to BJ. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} RE. 'SS{S. Smith}' PROPELLER SHAFT. N.schs. 2546 and 2550 seem OK. I agree that fig.2. on N.sch.2547 should be tried first - i.e. split, but must have solid nut.
