| X246. By/Cgh.{W Clough} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}19/KT.7.6.33. BENTLEY ROAD SPRINGS. With reference to BY/Cgh.{W Clough}1/G.3.6.33. Further experience has indicated that 800 lbs. rear springs will hardly give sufficient margin for the closed Bentley even if the body weights are kept down to our original figure. We therefore recommend that the rear road springs order should be 825 and 875, instead of 800 and 850 lbs. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
