| X5340. To RIC. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} 2/MJ.10.9.30. 12-C4. The propeller shaft on this car is now running rather badly out of truth. We wish to replace it with a standard propeller shaft. If it can be done, we should like this scrap tube fitted up for test plugged with wood, but to do this it is apparently necessary to cut off the swaged ends off the shaft. We are most interested in the 3" tube. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
