Rn.{Mr Robinson} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL2/ADL1.11.30. RE - SPRINGING. Attached is a report of some investigations we have carried out on Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s car 58-GN during the past week. The results were rather encouraging but more experience is required on these low rating springs before any recommendations for standardisation is made. We are awaiting Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s confirmation or disagreement with our impressions. We are carrying out investigations on the 20/25 HP. chassis on similar lines. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL. | ||
