E3/029/1/21. 3 Owing to the difficulty of designing a sufficiently flexible rear road spring which will at the same time, give satisfactory axle control, Mr. Royce has decided to increase the length of the rear road springs from 50" to 56". We send you herewith drawing Loc. 1331 showing the modification it is intended to make to the rear end of the side channel.
