REAR AXLE FOR MYTH.

We have got to issue instructions to HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} to enable him to produce a rear axle for the Myth.

We have had some correspondence with Mr. Daniell on this subject, copies of which we attach.

It is now necessary to give sufficient instructions to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH. for him to produce an L.O.P. for this axle, to which HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} can work, and which will include standard Salisbury parts and the pieces necessary to convert the Salisbury axle to our requirements.

We should be glad if Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} could instruct Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH. regarding the specification for this axle.

Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
