DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}5/G.9.12.38. BENTLEY 111 and 50. FRONT ROLL ROD. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} In accordance with memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}13/MH.{M. Huckerby}5.12.38. we have investigated the geometry of the front roll rod connecting links, and find the rubber cushions are moving through a greater angle than necessary. To improve the geometry, will you please shorten the connecting link by 1.250. The length of the stud FB.3995 will be 7.100 instead of 8.350 and the connecting tube FB.3996, 3.125 instead of 4.375.
