Bailey - Chief Engineer} [STAMP: ORIGINAL] [STAMP: RECEIVED 26 JUL 1922] Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M25.7.22. RE. 40/50 RADIUS ROD EXPERIMENT. X3441 With reference to this experiment on the front axle it will be realised that the side steering tube requires some slight additional bend in the plan view in order to clear the radius rod, and this would be done by trial on the actual parts.
