| E/Y. FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to SC. WCR. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} HDY.{William Hardy} A 3873 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}6/M25.4.33. P. 2. Independent front wheel suspension. N. sch. 3713. shewed a radiator suspension with which we were not quite satisfied, and we intended to look further into it. A somewhat bent spanner was called for for tightening up the studs holding the springs. We have now investigated this further and send you N. schs. 3733/34.. On N.sch. 3733. we have moved the centreline of the springs slightly away from the centreline of the radiator in order to make the nut more accessible without, as we think, any particular disadvantages. On N. sch. 3734. we have modified the water outlet so as to make the nut accessible by an ordinary spanner. On this drawing we have also shewn slight modifications to the bottom tank to simplify the casting. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
