Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/AD.9.1.32. X4663 X5410 18.G.IV. ROAD SPRINGS. We should change the road springs on this car in the front and fit 800 lb low rating springs i.e. the springs with 4.5" free camber and .5" loaded positive camber. With regard to the rear springs, GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} reports that the near side rear has lost its camber very badly and should be removed and replaced by a pair of solid eye springs of similar poundage. We should like to have details of the initial camber and the loaded camber of the springs removed so that we can take up the matter with the makers.
