| Copy. X701 J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} for 29.11.13. Dal/G291113. R.{Sir Henry Royce} In reply to your note RLO/P241113 re Steering Lever strengthened for torsion, the three pieces F.3726/7/8 prints of which I enclose, have been going through for experiment for some time, but results have not yet come through. The square section is carried some-way beyond the point where previous levers have broken. We have also now strengthened the standard levers by altering the dies in the same manner. This was in accordance with a note from you through Mr. Nadin. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
