| c o p y R.{Sir Henry Royce} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} CLARK, INC. Boston, Mass. August 12, 1937 To: Mr. Adkins From: Mr. Clark Re: Davenport 30-HP, GXM-69 The above owner is complaining again about the riding of her 30-HP town car. She claims it is as bad as ever, and that the rear strikes thru at the slightest bump. She insists that I find out if it is possible to install Knee-action on this chassis. I tried to explain that nothing had been done about this on the smaller Rolls, but she wants me to find out from England, and if necessary, she will take the car over there, if it can be done. Are they considering Knee-action that you know of on the 30-HP chassis, and if so, could it be adapted to her car? Please let me have your advice on the above as soon as possible. REC | ||
