| x3874 To ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/Ms. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.6/KT.7.6.33. Messrs Woodhead recently supplied us with some special lightened Bensport rear road springs to FB.26. 750 lbs. load. The dead weight of these springs being about 28 lbs. Will you please order a similar pair of road springs to FB.27. 800+/-lbs. load. We should like the dead weight of these springs not to exceed 28 lbs. We realise that this will necessitate increasing the stress slightly. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
