| X. 7350 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M24.11.28 'SS{S. Smith}' REAR AXLE AND DAMPER. Replying to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/LG - we will send you a scheme in the course of a few days enabling the cap to be removed without taking the damper out of the frame. The final position of the damper was rather lower than shewn on N.sch.2652 and we think that it very nearly comes out now. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
