Munro}4.6.30., the section of bumper preferred by R.{Sir Henry Royce} is half elliptical. The tubular type is agreed to be unsuitable. Regarding the bumper fitted to 24-EX. R.{Sir Henry Royce} fears that this may spread the front horns if struck in the centre, and asks for a type of bumper in which this fault is non-existent. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
