S.S. CHASSIS WEIGHTS.
-------------------

With reference to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rml/LG.15.4.29.
to enable us to estimate the road spring poundages
correctly we require to have the following information
in addition to that already given :-

1/- Complete chassis weight
(a) At Front.
(b) At rear.

2/- Unsprung weights, front and rear.

The above will then enable us to get the
correct distribution of the fixed chassis weights.
