RG.{Mr Rowledge} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} R4/M25.2.26. 20 HP. Rear Axle, Thrust Bearing. I should not wait for axles to go wrong, but get in as many as possible, and fit with new thrust bearing free of charge, if car sent to the Works. This seems the necessity of getting tested improved parts into production quickly after standardisation, and keeping stocks of materials low after those for current series are allowed for.
