MODIFIED SIDE CARRIER FOR ARTILLERY WHEELS. X. 8600 X. 4586 Herewith we send N.sch.2364 shewing the modif- ication to the side carrier for artillery wheels, overcoming the objection raised to our first scheme that when the wheel was not in position the conical plate might make a noise. We have put this up to R.{Sir Henry Royce} but in the meanwhile if you require to make these carriers we suggest that it can be used. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
