To Mr Wormald for Mr Royce.

Order No.

Customer's No. 714

Herewith is a pencil drawing of a suggested new pivot for the 10 HP 2 cylinder cars.

The old pivot S48/9 is shown in red ink for the purpose of comparison.

The old pivot runs for a considerable number of years before breaking, & some have never broken yet, I therefore think that the shape & extra section of the suggested new pivot body should make it a safe job.

During the past 3 years, 4 or 5 of the old pivots have broken at the point indicated on the drawing, but I do not know of a single case of fracture of the stub-axle.
