Waller - Head of Chateauroux} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}6/MH.{M. Huckerby}3.5.38. BENTLEY III YOKE - FRONT SUSPENSION. The upper rubber bearing in the yoke fails on the bump rather easily and to relieve it of load it will be necessary to stiffen the yoke at the bottom. We have just finished taking a series of measurements which clearly show this. This will mean removing more metal from the yoke dies. A drawing is being prepared. Any yokes which are not so stiffened are obsolete. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
