X. 7410 X. 8410 As requested by the Expl: Dept: we have gone again into the question of providing a sliding pad for use with existing rear springs, so avoiding the necessity of increasing the stock of springs. We send herewith N.sch. 2709 shewing what we propose. It will be seen that we alter the bracket on the axle, and the safety bracket; the former was altered in any case, and the upper one we think is probably not of much importance. As far as 12-EX is concerned we suggest that this replaces N.sch. 2598. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
