Martindale}2/MH.{M. Huckerby}13.6.38. FRONT SPRINGS - B.III AND B.50. It is at present intended that these shall be 8" static deflection (with 4 people each weighing 10stone in the car). What would the max. corrected stress be in the springs if the deflection was increased to 9" ? Will you prepare a table similar to the one attached, for these conditions. It is up to you to find out the intended weights of the cars. Please retain the attached memos in a file. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
