-4- Be/DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}3/N.25.2.38 Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} (S Cont'd). The car in question has a restricted lock so that direct measurement cannot be made. To take full advantage of this increase of movement a new normal position allowing larger bump movement should be adopted. This will imply raising the front of the car by approx. .750 to 1.00", and the maximum stress of the springs for B.III will also be increased, but not beyond the Packard figure. A new rebound buffer and bracket would be required for this suggestion. De/DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions} | ||
