| To C. 460 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}6/KW. 24.4.35. Chassis No: GAE-19. C.1/C.12.4.35. On Chassis GSF-4 the gross steering tube poundage has been reduced to 7 lbs. The side steering tube poundage was unaltered. (1) We now recommend the cross steering tube poundage to be 6 lbs. + or - 1 lb. (2) The side steering tube poundage to be 2 lbs. The oil in the steering box on this chassis has been altered from Amber 'A' to Castrol 'XL'. We recommend that the side steering tube be reduced to 2 lbs. This will bring the chassis into line with the present production. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.Dodd. SH OL | ||
