| X8410 SECRET. To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. E.A.C. R.R. SPRINGING. BJ7/H22.7.24. With reference to R1/M19.7.24, concerning E.A.C. springing, paragraph 5 reads as follows:- "In the car which created the bad impression the rear springs were much stiffer than in your car, but more than this, there has been a change in the springs independent of instructions, in which there appears to be considerably more internal friction, and enormously more than the thick leaf springs which PN.{Mr Northey} favours." Can you please let us know why and by whose instructions the springing was changed? B.J. | ||
