| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3806 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M27.3.29. 20 HP. CENTRALISED CHASSIS LUBRICATION. X.3806 X.5420 Herewith we send N.sch.2865 shewing the air vessels in the pivots of the 20 HP. front axle. We have shewn it for the axle now being used. We shall have to send you a further scheme for the new dropped axle. Should the axles be in an advanced stage, and it be difficult to alter the pivots now, if you would let us know we would investigate the possibility of putting the air vessels on one of the drip plugs. We do not think however that this latter proposal will be very acceptable. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
