| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to BJ. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M11.5.28. CENTRALISED CHASSIS LUBRICATION. X7350 X3806 Herewith we send N. scheme 2598. - wearing pad on rear axle. It is intended that this should be fitted to the car before it starts on 10,000 miles test. The same forging for the roller bracket is used, but we have reduced the width between the cheeks to take advantage of the room. Also we have shewn the top plate of the spring lengthened for the safety bolt. Should either of these modifications present difficulty or delay on the first car, if you would let us know, we will send you a temporary alternative scheme. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
