| +9410 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from CJ. Tests of Springs. CJ2/E29/10/24 --------------------- ----------------- --------------- With reference to tests of springs being made in France, when you talk of 12½% stiffer, I presume that you mean 12½% stiffer than the 40/50 HP standard springs that were being fitted to open touring cars for use in England? Are the cars, on which the springs are being tested, weighted up to represent four passengers and luggage? CJ. | ||
