| By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}11/AP.24.8.37 B.III. FRONT SUSPENSION I am very anxious that somebody should be designing a telescopic type of damper for the B.III. front suspension. Luvax are now making this damper and it appears to me to be ideal for a wishbone type of suspension. I have a model in my Office, and Luvax can supply blue-prints of the full range, or alternatively, if we tell them what length we want, they will say how near they can get to it. HIGH POWER ENGINE. I am very anxious for somebody to draw the high power combustion chamber head as demanded by Jnr{Charles L. Jenner}'s designs, for the single cylinder unit, so that we can go ahead and get some information prior to the finalising of the complete unit design. ------ Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
