| To E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les. c.c. Ds. c.c. By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c.c. E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c.c. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1086 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les.14/AP.19.5.37 PACKARD FRONT SUSPENSION. The attached photos shows the weights of the main parts of the Packard front suspension. The weight on the Packard front wheels is 15 cwts. 3 qrs. and that of C.B.IV. 15 cwts. As the Packard has a cast iron shock absorber and roughly finished yoke piece and levers, the weights of the Bentley III. parts should certainly be less than those of the Packard.
