PY. FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}

C. to SCL. WOK. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} (SCL. and WOK. are struck through)

J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. FRONT SPRING PINS.

We notice that on N. sch. 3207., the rear anchorage of the front spring which we have called for on N. sch. 3335., the pins appear to be .625" dia.

On N. sch. 3329.- the front shackle- we have shewn .5625" dia. pins as now in use on the 25HP.

With a view to reducing the multiplicity of parts we would be glad if you would detail the front and rear anchorages having identical pins all .625" dia.
