Coverley - Production Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 120/ Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}4/HP.12.9.34. Bentley - Front Axle Control. Herewith are N. Sch's 4178,4179, 4180 and 4182, the suggestion for Front Axle Control by means of the addition of a radius rod to the existing shock damper triangle, the spring being shackled at both ends. N. Sch.4178 is the general arrangement. N. Sch.4179 is the application of the centralised chassis lubrication to the Triangle. N.Sch. 4180/82 are the rear shackles with the application of centralised chassis lubrications to them and to the spring. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
