| 4235 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to CJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}5/M7.11.25. NEW PHANTOMCodename for PHANTOM I SHOCK DAMPERS. X.8520 X.235 We send herewith N.sch.2085 shewing the proposed new hydraulic shock damper. The position on the chassis is slightly higher than the existing friction shock damper, and a longer connecting rod will be needed which may involve some work on the wings. We shall deal with this point later if necessary. We believe that the drawing itself is self-explanatory. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
