| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} } FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X8520 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M27.2.26. RE. RR. HSOCK DAMPERS. X. 235 X. 8520 Regarding N.sch.2145, we wish to point out that the new type of valve makes the rear bolt holding the shock damper body on to the frame difficult to get in. We should be glad if you would increase the centre from the rocker shafr to 4", and turn the bolt round so that the nut is to the outside. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
