EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/HP.24.1.36. Phantom III - Rear Suspension. With reference to Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/HP.23.1.36. it is desired to modify the precedence of some of the experiments instructed there. Instead of the Cadillac type bushes in the rear shackle (LeC.4928) being the first to be made and tried, it is now desired to hold that experiment over until the silent-bloc bushes shewn on LeC.4942 have been tried, so that it will not be necessary to detail LeC.4928 unless LeC.4942 proves for any reason unsatisfactory. The front end bushes are to go on as shewn on LeC.4897. Item ordered for silent bloc front end. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
