| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X4117 X8410 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG27.1.28. In our Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/LG3.1.28. we sent you to you three sets of stiffer stronger springs. Attached is a memo. from CWB. We think it would be a good idea to send to Cricklewood two of these springs of 470 lbs/1" rating, 2200 lbs. stiffer type F.77714 as most normal types of springing have been tried on Sir John Latta car without much success.
