| X. 7520 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M4. 9.26. EAC. 7 - FRONT SHOCK DAMPER RUBBER BUFFER ETC. Herewith we send N.sch. 2262 in which we have laid out the shock damper, front cross member, sheet metal wing stay, to ascertain if the front shock damper would come in as previously instructed. We find it desirable to shorten the operating lever 1" and we have also taken the opportunity to shorten the lower ball end about ½". We shew the rubber buffer, and in order to utilise an existing bolt have somewhat reduced the volume of rubber. We have no exact information as to whether the volume of rubber that is carried now is the minimum or not. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
