| Suggestion 108. R.R. 835A (10M) (W 705. 1.8.11) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 1826. N7/B13911. 13th Sept. 1911. Mr. Spinney 13-9-11 Mr. Platford has pointed out that the clearance between the shackle on the rear end of the front springs and the engine side guard is much too small. We are aware that the clearance on the chassis is not in accordance with the clearance specified on the drawing but if an additional 1/8" clearance, or a total of not less than ¼", is given perhaps this trouble will be eliminated without any extra cost. Will you please alter the drawing in accordance with the above. T.C. 28/the meeting 12/9/11 (7) Suggestion 108 x423 | ||
