| -2- Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/MH.{M. Huckerby}27.1.40. (6) We should communicate with Tubes Ltd. to see if they can produce a lighter gauge tube for the small cars. Failing this, we should run one of the new axles with tubes machined to thin size in case at some future date we should be glad to get them manufactured in the least costly manner. Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} recommends that the flange thickness be unaltered. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
