| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to CJ. c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to Ds. c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} ORIGINAL Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG21.8.22. X3441 / X4263 RADIUS RODS ON FRONT OF 40/50 CHASSIS. We have run a 40/50 chassis a short distance with radius rods fitted to the front axle. The first impression is very very pleasing and it has made a marked improvement in the steering. We are pushing forward with experimental sets of radius rods for the front of Goshawk cars. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
