| x3874 To ROY {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} /Ms. from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les.6/KT.7.6.33. Messrs Woodhead recently supplied us with some special lightened BensportCodename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley 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. | ||
