| X.4263 To hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Del/M6.6.23. GOSHAWK 11. RADIUS RODS X.4263. There have been more than one car we believe running about fitted with temporary scheme of radius rods, and one at least has done quite a considerable mileage. We should therefore be much obliged if you could tell us in what state you found the ball joints as regards wear, and cleanness. Any information you can give us tending to indicate the amount of work which these radius rods have to be, would be very useful. Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
