EAC.Vll STEERING. We find that the modification to the front springs on EAC.Vll is responsible for some of the difference in geometry between this car and EAC.Vlll. We are carrying out a test with an altered dumb iron which enables us to get still better geometry than we have at present with the short pendulum lever. We wonder whether, while you are going over the problem, you could look into the question of front spring anchorage. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
