| 642 C. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}5/G.22.2.38. Your views? WRAITH 111. REAR SHOCK DAMPER AND ROLL ROD. F.CD.260 was issued for costing in comparison with the previous serrated type. We have not received any cost figures as yet, but in the meanwhile we understand the Works wish to proceed with the square attachment shewn on F.CD.260 in preference to the serrated type. Could F.CD.260 be detailed and issued for experiment, so that a decision can be taken as to its applicability to the first 100 sets. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
