re Springing.

Whilst I am aware as per your recent note that you decided on the type of springing, i.e. flexibility etc. for chassis for America, I am not clear as to what has been decided for at home.

What I have in mind is that the 40/50 HP chassis for home, as far as I know, are still being sprung in the same way as they were prior to the experimental work with the more flexible springing as on 58-GN and your visit to America.

Would you please let me know what it is proposed to do.
