(crossed out) c. to RG.{Mr Rowledge} (crossed out) c. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 40/50 - FOUR WHEEL BRAKES. X99440 FRONT SPRING REAR ANCHORAGE. We send herewith N.scheme 1706. shewing the rear anchorage of the front springs. We have provided a cover to protect the pin and bearings, and Mr. Royce thinks that it will not be necessary at this stage to provide adjustment as has recently been proposed. We have shewn the spring eye 2" wider and we should like to keep this for the rear end and to make the front end 1.88 as shewn on F4625, one object of this being to render it impossible to assemble the spring the wrong way in the chassis.
