Coverley - Production Engineer} ------------ 802 DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}10/G.5.9.38. [Signature] FTH B.50. SEMI-FLOATING REAR AXLE. Herewith is PD.259 shewing two alternative suggestions for modifying the bearing housing for the pinion nose bearing to facilitate production. RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/Mc.Clure has seen these proposals, and it is now desired to obtain comparative costs before going further. As the axle centre casing is held up pending this investigation an early reply will be appreciated. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
