| X240 E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DAL/M1 8.11.32. C. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BENSPORT RADIATOR. ----- With further reference to the question of the brake levers on the front axle fouling the radiator, we have looked into the question of the suspension, and find that it will be necessary to move the latter in to 7.750" centres from the centreline of the chassis. We think it will be desirable to push out the brake levers to 9.250" in order to make sure, and we believe that this can be done at the present moment without inconvenience as we are bound to change them from Peregrine in any case. We are sending you N.sch. 3606 herewith. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
