| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ORIGINAL. GOSHAWK 11. X4261 X4263 Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M7.2.22. With reference to your request for a stop on the back shackle for the rear springs to prevent the axle pushing back, Mr. Royce does not think that we should do this. He considers that it is not done by anyone else, and that we ought not to introduce at this stage the extra complication and extra limitations especially in view of the fact that an accident due to this cause seems rather remote.
