| Messrs. Park Ward & Co. Ltd. -2- 23rd. May, 1939. More interesting in relation to side shake is body rigidity against shearing sideways. Deformation on a diagonal across the scuttle on 40.B.V. for an applied load of 100 lbs. at door handle level was .005", while the deformation on a saloon for the same load was not measurable. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
