In view of the fact that the above chassis are to be completed as soon as possible, it is not considered advisable to instruct the new scheme for front suspension, therefore will you please instruct the original scheme for these 12 chassis. Will you also please instruct the following features for the above :- (1) Pads at the front and rear should be suitable for ordinary screw lifting jacks. (2) Connecting rods and main bearings should be white metal lined. (3) The levers for the original front suspension should be modified as per N.schs. 4632 and 4635. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
