| To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Sheet 2. 27048. COPY R10/P 6.3.14. X1023 (5) The front springs in this case will be a little stiffer and give a little more clearance. (6) The back springs also might with advantage have the increased camber. The hydraulic shock absorbers of our own pattern or Holdrakes should be fitted. Do not send the larger steering wheel here, but try it at home. The steering column would have to be raised to make up for the difference in diameter. I would not introduce this until the Northcliffe Chassis is introduced. It will save confusion. (7) If possible fit to this 2704B the lip to retain the oil in the clutch, if it is found an advantage on test at Derby. F.H.R. This car should be fitted with 24° angle radiator to the drawings we send to Derby on this date. Radiator, Bonnet and Scuttle will be quite new. | ||
