| BY FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to BJ. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}4/M17.5.28. "SS{S. Smith}" STEERING. PENDULUM LEVER. X7430 X7420 We send herewith N. sch. 2600. shewing the new design of damped pendulum lever with leaf springs. The leaf springs should be arranged withthe least amount of set-up load possible, so as to make the movement of the lever in the central position as free as possible. It is intended to remove a good deal of the friction off the front axle when this scheme is tried, and we shall send you instructions in due course. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
