To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} x3117 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}6/KW.16.3.34. JACKALL JACKS. We attach herewith a print shewing the internal of the above Jacks. It would seem that it is impossible to fit these satisfactorily to our rear axles without shortening them, and by doing this it would reduce the lift to such an extent as to render the Jacks useless. However, will you please look into the matter and give us your views in due course. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/J.Bowering. | ||
