| c. to HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 44222 BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /SS {S. Smith} 1/DB. {Donald Bastow - Suspensions} 29.4.24. RE 20 HP CHASSIS - SPRING DRIVE - SEC:5020. DAMPING SPRINGS. With reference to your conversation with Mr Bailey regarding a 25% reduction in the Damping Load as given by 10 springs E.52484, we find that springs E.14670 should be suitable. These springs are used on "Eagle(Aero Engine)" and "Condor(Aero Engine)" Spring Drives, so will you please try out and report to Mr Bailey as soon as possible, using the continental bakelite Friction Discs E.53266.
