| X4521, CS/C30.5.30. S/R...[REDACTED] c. to JWR WGF Br -> Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} P/NF HT ------ Re 115-WJ....Prince of Wales. ------ With reference to LNS/R29.5.30, I have also seen Ledbrook. Will you please consider this question of the springing of the car. Apparently the Bently is extremely heavily sprung, as the Prince hates swaying. Do you recommend considerably stronger springs, and is it any use putting on our extra shock absorbers as has been done on one or two other cars? C. | ||
