| Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4150 COPY. To Works Committee [struck through] - from R. {Sir Henry Royce} o. {Mr Oldham} to CJ. [struck through] c. to BJ. R10/G18/7/21. re 40/50 H.P. Double Pinion Thrust. I approve to at once changing the rear axle pinion thrust to the recently standardised double thrust pattern at a cost of £2,500. It is understood that the present stock of parts is to be taken care of until we have had time to test whether we can use these up by the method of taking the over-running thrust on the big journal bearing, or by other means which have been suggested.
