| ORIGINAL TO HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M30.4.27. FRONT AXLES. X8420 (crossed out) X457 Thank you for your HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/LG27427. With reference to high speed wobbles are we not right in saying that these wobbles have been definitely improved by the reduction in the weight of the axle, that is to say, the speed has been put up, and therefore there has been a definite improvement up to that speed?
