| TO S. & ST.{Capt. P. R. Strong} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to - CJ. H6. BA. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL R4/M14.4.24. LeC. 1862 - REVERSE PINION. 40/50. X3322 This scheme of Mr. Stent's is I think much less costly and quite satisfactory. If you wished you could rivet up the end of taper pin as well or instead of the head. I think it would be better to have a little more metal in the pinion which is pressed on to the one having the boss, i.e. slightly smaller dia. of boss to allow more metal in pinion after holes are drilled.
