| H1C/B29313. From F.H.R., Copies sent to: Mr. Johnson. Mr. Wormald. Mr. Hadin for Mr. Bailey. New light rear axle. (1) Bolts increase size. ✓ (2) Reinforce tubes. ✓ (3) Increase heel. ✓ (4) Bolt in central flange increase number especially at corners and bottom. (5) Torque tube improvement - one piece if possible. X (6) New bronze sphere. (7) Axle tubes increased in strength generally, probably in diameter at the central box flange. (8) I thought that we arranged keys in the solid on the axle tubes for brakes ( possibly it was for double brakes) which should be fitted to these axles. X F.H.R. Handwritten: W-Wormald! X134 | ||
