Mr Booth.] [Handwritten: x4538 2] [Typed: BY4-P27.1.22.] [Typed, underlined in red: GOSHAWK 11.] [Handwritten: X4261 / X4538] [Typed:] In connection with the springing, now that we have actually got - (a) an open car (b) a Limousine car it would be useful for us to have the actual sprung weights on each of the cars in question when fully loaded. The point we are getting at is, that we would want the weights on the front axle and back axle in each case, and then we should want to know the unsprung weight of the front and rear axles. The above information is required, of course, to enable us to fix up definitely a scheme for instructing springs for different body weights. BY.{R.W.
