Bumping test of Front Axle F3391. X.23 With reference to the fracture in the axle on the bumping test, I should be glad if Mr Day will examine the axles broken, and make a drawing, adding a few ounces of metal at the point of fracture. R.{Sir Henry Royce} I understand that every part which has broken has been improved. 1. Cross Steering Levers. 2. Longitudinal " 3. Buffer Springs. 4. Longitudinal steering tubes. 5. Axles.
