DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 5/AH14.2.1921.

X.4261 "GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II" FRONT SPRING SHACKLE

We send herewith further print of "N" Scheme 741 modified in accordance with E3/09.2.1921.

On account of the new shape of the top leaf of the Front Spring, and the reduced camber, and also on account of the long link, the special shape of the rear bolt becomes rather long.

It might be preferred that we should deepen the boss somewhat.
