| +8430 To WJ. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to BJ. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} R5/M13.10.25. PHANTOM FRONT AXLE. X.8420 STUB AXLES & STEERING LEVERS. X.8430 We have in hand another design to save weight for equal strength, and to make some of the parts nearer ideal. Our present axle is passably good, but we can now see how it can be improved. The Goshawk has about half of the modifications. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
