Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/G.18.4.39. FRONT SUSPENSION LUBRICATION. B.V. In connection with the provision of a pipe coil to carry the centralised chassis lubrication on to the front suspension and steering gear parts, Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} suggested to Experimental Department that a flexible pipe might be a solution and asked that comparative costs might be investigated. We understand that this has been done, but we have not yet been informed of the result, and in consequence may be doing unnecessary work.
