INSTRUCTIONS. 13 Rod / 1913 To: Mr Royce Order No. Customer's No. Re: X910 CHARACTERISTIC CURVE OF REAR ROAD SPRINGS Herewith I send a set of curves, plotted from Experimental Dept's figures. After a certain point the rate per inch seems to rise with increasingly negative camber, especially with standard springs. This may have a shock-damping effect?
