| Copy sent Mr Johnson 16-9-12. [STAMP: 18 SEP 1912] Westwood, Crowborough, Sussex, 16th Sept 1912. Mr Johnson & T.C. from Mr Barrington. Please note Mr Royce is anxious for the axle bumping tests to be carried out as soon as possible on the worm axle at present in the Experimental Shop. This test is for the purpose of discovering whether it is necessary to fit diagonal ties to this form of axle, as we are satisfied that they are not necessary in the case of our standard bevel axle.
