To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} From EH. c.c. to BM. X.3461B. EH5/LG13.8.19. 13th. Aug. 1919. REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS. X.3461.B With reference to the fixing of the lever to the rotor, as we pointed out in our report EH5/LG23.7.19. we do not consider the biting-in-bolt type of fixing is good enough. We feel sure that when the Works start producing these shock absorbers they will not make a sufficiently good job which is demanded on this type of fixing for it to be successful. We should like to hear whether you propose to make any modifications to this. | ||
