| 123 2nd Meeting With respect to the Hydraulic Shock SHOCK ABSORBERS (Contd.) (G) absorbers which it was proposed to test with the new springing, Mr. Spinney has not yet designed the longer lever necessary to give the increased deflection. He believed that it was impracticable owing to such a lever fouling the frame. He would however go into the matter shortly and report to the Committee. | ||
