| R.R. 4972A 6-12 500 D & P Ltd. ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. INSTRUCTIONS. 4 - 3 - 1913 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 548/g 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. Signed W. P. Chandler. This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
