| Re. From DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 4901 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M22.6.28 'SS{S. Smith}' FRONT AXLE. X.7420 X.401 X.487 With reference to hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/Sal/LC18.6.28., F.{Mr Friese} thinks that an objection to putting the wheel further from the plane of the pivot would be the increased moment of any unbalanced force on the wheel. He would like you to test whether the effect of an identical unbalanced force is objectionably increased with the lengthened stub axles, as compared with present standard pivots.
