| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Copy to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} P. 2. AXLE BUFFERS. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M22.7.30. - x3864 With reference to BY/CGH{W Clough}12/G18730.., could you send us a layout of the axle striking the buffers under conditions of extreme roll. In N. sch. 3005. we believed that we had prevented thespring clip nuts from striking the frame, which we understood was the difficulty then experienced. Fouling the buffers is something new and may require another modification. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
