Please receive herewith the following scheme F.CD.767 Anti-Roll Rod - Front. The above scheme shews a front roll rod fitted to Bentley 3 and 50 similar in design to the Wraith 111. The rod is fixed to the front frame extension by a rubber mounting and the connecting link has rubber joints. As an alternative we shew the ends of the roll rod jumped up to form a boss for the rubbers. Would the Experimental Department please inform us whether it is possible to pass the ends of the roll rod through the mounting rubbers, otherwise sockets must be used. Please instruct.
