| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to CJ. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}5/M8.12.22. "STORK" & "HERON" FRONT SPRINGS X.3988. We send you herewith N.sch. 1357 shewing the rear shackles on the front springs which are modified to clear the radius rod and side steering tube. We have endeavoured to give the increased side surface which Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} asks for, and we have also proposed a new method of stopping the bolts from revolving, which has a very much better control over the bolts than the standard scheme. It will be noticed that the bracket attached to the frame is the same as standard, slightly modified in machining. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
