X.2628 BY16-P27.10.20. CHASSIS - FRONT SPRINGS. Please note that for the front springs we will carry on with nibs and slots in the ordinary way, and that therefore there will be no question of grinding the plates of the front springs to fit one another. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} is in agreement that for the moment we cannot dispense with nibs and slots, until we have assured ourselves by experiment What would be required in the way of clips if these latter were deleted. The O.O. should go right ahead with front springs in the ordinary way to the above instruction. EY. | ||
