Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}3/MH.{M. Huckerby}21.6.39. ROLL ROD - B.V. Will you please prepare a scheme for a roll rod with Harris bushes at the top end of the link. The upper rubbers are liable to fail. All roll rods are the same now, with the possible exception of the "Continental". Three rods are wanted in carbon steel, one for the bump. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F.
