BY/SB{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}1/MG.25.5.39 I note that you have seen Sir Ralph Millbourn again and that the suspension is still not satisfactory to him, and that you confirm that it is distinctly unpleasant from the point of view of pitching. I also note that you are going to try lower rated front springs and roll bar and shall be interested to know what you think of the result when these have been fitted. I am sorry to note that Sir Ralph has suffered financial losses, and also to note that he still feels he was rather done by Jack Barclay. C. | ||
