| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to CJ. c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} "STORK" & "HERON" STEERING GEAR X.3929. We send herewith N.sch.1362 shewing a design of plain thrust bearing for the "Stork" and "Heron" to make the steering more irreversible, in accordance with Mr. Royce's recent ideas. It is intended that this shall be a temporary measure, as we shall shortly be sending you the completed design for the "Seagull" steering gear, which will embody this plain thrust, but be somewhat modified in other respects.
