| +7520 +7350 To DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}5/LG25.4.29. c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hancock reports today that the bracket on the axle holding the ball end to the rear shock absorber does not appear to be strong enough. He has been running up to 100 lbs. load on the ball end. It appears that if we are to go up to 160 lbs. load in one direction as R.{Sir Henry Royce} is suggesting, this bracket will have to be very materially strengthened. The Piece No. is G.77201/2.
