| - 2 - E.1/HP.27.8.32. ------------- We did consider using ball joints and rods of about the same size as the pull rods on the front axle but the flat links are simpler and as they do not move under load normally may stand up satisfactorily. A print of LeC. 3175 is also attached to Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}'s copy of this memo. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
